Promises

[Intro]
D G

[Verse 1]
D G
You wanna drive? Go take the keys
D G
Can’t sit around in this make-believe
Bm A
This night might end unhappily
Bm A
There was a time I thought it could be

D G
Somebody stays, somebody leaves
D G
That bitter pill needs swallowing
Bm A
Bottom lip between your teeth
Bm A
Somebody else where I should be

[Chorus]
D G
Promises empty like the bed you sleep in
Bm
Broken like the spell you’re keeping
A G
Promises we can’t believe in

D G
Promises empty like the bed you sleep in
Bm
Broken like the spell you’re keeping
A G
Promises we can’t believe in
Bm D
Why we even try to keep them?

[Verse 2]
D G
Objects are closer than they appear
D G
Growing in my eyes as fast as my fears
Bm A
Both my feet have fallen asleep
Bm A
Head to the dash in the passenger’s seat

D G
I’ve been struck by your words like a train
D G Bm A
Hit with the way you left like rain hits the windowpane
Bm A
Not a drop at a time, but all at once

[Chorus]
D G
Promises empty like the bed you sleep in
Bm
Broken like the spell you’re keeping
A G
Promises we can’t believe in

D G
Promises empty like the bed you sleep in
Bm
Broken like the spell you’re keeping
A G
Promises we can’t believe in
Bm D
Why we even try to keep them?

[Chorus 2]

D
