Dwight Yoakam – A Promise You Cant Keep (Guitar)

            D                    A
I heard you swear your love this morning,

                        E            A
And it caught me almost wanting to believe.

                 D                   A
The three little words that serve as warning,

                   E                 A
And say its just a promise you can't keep.

D
 A statement that's been so used,

A
 I felt compelled to tell you.

E                              A
 But knew there wasn't much to say.

D
 I could have threatened leavin',

A
 Or listed hopeless reasons,

B                              E
 If I didn't have this need to stay.

A            D                  A
Three little words should be my warning,

                            E                 A
'Cause I know that's just a promise you can't keep.

D
 A statement that's been so used,

E                              A

A            D                  A

            D                    A
