Brantley Gilbert - You Promised

D Bm G A

D Bm G
she was crying out my name , standing in the driveway

little bare feet wearing her cotton dress and i
D Bm G
i still see the rain chasing tears down her face

it was back in october when i said its over and hid
Bm A G
behind the door , behind the shame of my conviction
Bm A G
bedside myself , beside some empty pill prescription

can hear her screamig’ no

D A
no baby don’t , you making my heart hurt
Bm
dont say those words
G A
take it back , you know you don’t mean that
D A
you swore when i wore your ring

it meant forever
Bm A G
i’ve got it on baby , how can you say i lost it

oh , you promised

D Bm G
started crying while i was sleeping , waking up and reaching out

to a bed as empty as the heart inside my chest
D Bm G
so i gathered up some pictures , i said i had somethin to give her

i let her read a letter , i had a written her to give her on the day we tied the knot
Bm A
i saw the tears
G
i saw them fall as she read the part of my growing old
Bm A G
i heard her words , i heard her say it’ll never work

and hit my knees and cried

D A
no baby don’t you’re making my heart hurt
Bm
dont say those words
G
take it back , you know you dont mean it
D A
you swore when you wore my ring

it meant forever
Bm A G
youve got it on baby , how can you say you lost it
Bm
yeah and you promised

Bm
we were different people then
A
look at all the hateful things weve said
G
and im just as guilty , but girl you that’s no wat to be
Bm
take it easy baby im still broken
A
memories enough to tear me wide open
G
when you see me girl you curse my name

makes me wanna say no

D A
no baby don’t you’re making my heart hurt
Bm
dont say those words
G A
take it back , you know you dont mean it
D A
you swore when you wore my ring

we said forever
Bm A G
but you took it off baby , safet ot say we’re though
Bm A G
but no matter what you do you know i’ll always love you

hell i have to
