[Intro] A Amaj7 D A Amaj7 D [Verse 1]
            Amaj7
Don't wanna open your heart

        A
You're afraid from the start

       D
That a new love's gonna let you down

          Amaj7
There was something you should know

           A
Before you give up and go

        D                      Bm7
I don't believe in run around

               C#m7
I just wanna define myself

    B7             
And show you how I feel
[Chorus]
                    Dmaj7                 E
If a promise ain't enough (Promise ain't enough)

                       A                             F#m
Then a touch says everything (Touch says everything, everything)

                      Bm7                  E
Got to hold you in my arms (Hold you in my arms)

                     A
Till you feel what I mean (There's so much more, than promises)

             D                           E
Know that my heart just tells me what to say

              F#m           B7
But words can only prove so much

                    Bm7                   E
If a promise ain't enough (Promise ain't enough)

             A
Hold onto my love
[Verse 2]
          Amaj7
Though my words can't describe

        A
How I'm feeling all inside

        D
Does my touch says anything to you

        Amaj7
I'm not afraid to take time

           A
Cause I'll know you'll find

         D                         Bm7
That I'm real and my touch is true

                         C#m7
It's taken a lifetime to find my heart

      B7          
And I give it all you
[Chorus]
                    Dmaj7                 E
If a promise ain't enough (Promise ain't enough)

                       A                             F#m
Then a touch says everything (Touch says everything, everything)

                      Bm7                  E
Got to hold you in my arms (Hold you in my arms)

                     A
Till you feel what I mean (There's so much more, than promises)

             D                          E
Know that my heart just tells me what to say

                   F#m      B7
But words can only prove so much

                    Bm7                   E
If a promise ain't enough (Promise ain't enough)

Hold onto my love
[Solo] A D A D
Bm7                   C#m7        A

I won't let it get away
[Chorus]

Got to hold you in my arms (Hold you in my arms)

                     A                                Amaj7
Till you feel what I mean (There's so much more, than promises)
