I Promised Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]She's standing high on cloud nine,
believing all my [G]lies
I was [A]trying to win her over,
and did to my sur[D]prise
I don't have all the things
I said I could give [G]her
I [A]promised her a moon that
I can't deliv[D]er

[Verse 2]
[D]She'll be [G]hurt when she finds I'm
a dead dreamin' [D]fool
Although [G]she might forgive,
she won't [E]like being [A]used
[D]I offered her life lined with gold and silv[G]er
I [A]promised her the moon that I
can't deliv[D]er
[A][D]

[Verse 3]
She's too happy to be hurt
so I'll starve for a [G]time
I don't [A]know what I've got
that makes her eyes [D]shine
But I've got her heart rollin'
like and overflowin' [G]river
I've [A]promised her a moon that
I can't [D]deliver
She'll be [G]hurt

[Verse 4]
when she finds I'm
a dead dreamin' [D]fool
Although [G]she might forgive,
she won't [E]like being [A]used
I [D]offered her life lined with gold and sil[G]ver
I [A]promised her the moon
that I can't deliv[D]er

[Verse 5]
Now [D]I'll face reality with
what I've got to [G]thrill her
I [A]promised her a moon,
and that's what I'm going to [D]give her.
