            Promises in the Dark
Transcribed by Buster Nicholson


[Intro]
F

[Verse 1]
F                                 Bb
Never again, isn’t that what you said?
             F
You’ve been through this before
                                           Bb
This time you swore you’d think with your head
Bb                           Dm
No one, would ever have you again
        Bb
And if takin’ was gonna get done
                       C
You’d decide where and when

              Dm    C   Bb
Just when you think you got it down
             F                 Bb
Your heart securely tied and bound
          Bb A Gm       Am C
They whisper,  promises in the

[Verse 2]
F                                               Bb
Armed and ready you fought love, battles in the night
        F                                     Bb
But too many opponents made you weary of the fight
Bb                                        Dm
Blinded by passion, you foolishly let someone in
        Bb
All the warnings went off in your head
                   C
Still you had to give in

              Dm    C   Bb
Just when you think you got it down
           F               Bb
Resistance nowhere to be found
          Bb A Gm       Am C
They whisper,  promises in the

[Riff]
| Dm     Bb Am7|(Am7)  Bb  Am |
  dark
| Dm     Bb Am7|(Am7)  Bb  Am | x3

[Bridge]
    Bb       C               G
But promises,  you know what they're for
             F                            G
It sounds so convincing, but you heard it before
      Bb           C                 Dm
Cause talk is cheap and you gotta be sure
           Dm  Dm Dm   Dm     Dm Dm Dm Dm
And so you put up your guard
        C                       Bb         C    Dm
And you try to be hard but your heart says try again

[Verse 3]
    F                                         Bb
You desperately search for a way to conquer the fear
   F                                             Bb
No line of attack has been planned to fight back the tears
      Bb                                 Dm
Where brave and restless dreams are both won and lost
       Bb                                     C
On the edge is where it seems it’s well worth the cost

              Dm    C   Bb
Just when you think you got it down
              F                Bb
Your heart in pieces on the ground
              Gm       Am C
They whisper, promises in the ...
