Chords

Artist: Hall & Oates Song: Promise Ain't Enough Tabbed by: Joshua Abella ([email protected] I was introduced to this song by a good friend in grade school, Joseph Laxamana. So I went looking for chords online. Some chords I found from previous tablatures were missing several chords during transitions, so here's my take on this beautiful song: [Intro] A A9 A DM7 (2x)
            A9        A
Don't wanna open your heart

       A9              A
You're afraid from the start

       DM7
That a new love's gonna let you down

         A9                   A
There is something you should know

           A9          A
Before you give up and go

       DM7
I don' believe in the run around

Bm7               C#m7
   I just want to define myself

    Bm7             E
And show you how l feel
[Chorus]
                   DM7   E
If a promise ain't enough

                  A         F#m
Then a touch says everything

                      Bm7  E
Got to hold you in my arms

                     A9  A  A9 A
Till you feel what I mean

             DM7                 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

             A
Hold onto my love

          A9          A
Though my words can't describe

        A9          A
How I'm feeling all inside

        DM7
Does my touch say anything to you

        A9             A
I'm not afraid to take time

        A9          A
Cause I know you'll find

         DM7
That I'm real and my touch is true

Bm7                         C#m7
   It's taken a lifetime to find my heart

      Bm7              E
And I give it all to you
[Chorus]
                   DM7   E
If a promise ain't enough

                  A         F#m
Then a touch says everything

                      Bm7  E
Got to hold you in my arms

                     A9  A  A9 A
Till you feel what I mean

             DM7                 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

             A
Hold onto my love
[Instrumental] A A9 A DM7 (2x)
Bm7                      C#m7

I won't let it get away
[Chorus]
                   DM7   E
If a promise ain't enough

                  A         F#m
Then a touch says everything

                      Bm7  E
Got to hold you in my arms

Till you feel what I mean

             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

             A   F#m
Hold onto my love

                  Bm7    E
If a promise ain't enough

       A9 A C#m7 F#m7
Hold on
[Outro] [Repeat til fade]
Bm7                       E
