Carla Bruni – Promises Like Pie-Crust (Guitar)

E             E7
Promise me no promises

  A           Am
So will I not promise you

E                E7
Keep we both our liberties

A                Am
 Never false and never true

G#
Let us hold the die uncast

C#m             A
Free to come as free to go

    E          B
For I cannot know your past

E       B                 E   [E7, A, Am]
 And of mine what can you know?

E                 E7
You, so warm, may once have been

A                Am
Warmer towards another one

E               E7
I, so cold, may once have seen

A                   Am
Sunlight, once have felt the sun

G#
Who shall show us if it was

C#m            A
Thus indeed in time of old?

E               B
Fades the image from the glass

E        B             E   [E7, A, Am]
And the fortune is not told

G#                   C#m
If you promised, you might grieve

    B            E
For lost liberty again

G#             C#m
If I promised, I believe

          B                E
I should fret to break the chain

G#
Let us be the friends we were

C#m              A
Nothing more but nothing less

E              B      E 
Many thrive on frugal fare

E         B         E     [E7, A, Am]
Who would perish of excess

E              A
Promise me no promises

E             E7
Promise me no promises

  A           Am
So will I not promise you

E                E7
Keep we both our liberties

A                Am
 Never false and never true

G#
Let us hold the die uncast

C#m             A
Free to come as free to go

    E          B
For I cannot know your past

E       B                 E    [E7, A, Am]
 And of mine what can you know?

G#                   C#m
If you promised, you might grieve

    B            E
For lost liberty again

G#             C#m
If I promised, I believe

          B                E
I should fret to break the chain

G#                       C#m
Let us be the friends we were

B                E
Nothing more but nothing less

G#                    C#m
Many thrive on frugal fare

          B         E
Who would perish of excess

E, E7, A, Am
          Promises like pie-crust

E, E7, A, Am
          Promises like pie-crust
