Lyle Lovett – Promises (Guitar)

C        Dm
[tab]    C        Dm
And promises broken

C              Dm
Words stain my lips

          Am          Dm
Just like blood on my hands

    C              Dm
And words are like poison

     C                 Dm
That sinks down inside you

     C              Dm
And some things you do

         Am         Dm
You just don't understand

   C       Dm
I offer no reason

   C         Dm
I ask for no pity

  C         Dm
I make no excuse

        Am         Dm
For the way that I am

    C              Dm
And words are like poison

     C                 Dm
That sinks down inside you

    C               Dm
And some things you do

         Am          Dm
You just don't understand

    C        Dm
If God is my witness

     C          Dm
Then God is my savior

       C           Dm
But if you are my judge

         Am      Dm
Then I'm already damned

    C               Dm
And words are like poison

     C            Dm
That sinks down inside you

    C               Dm
And some things you do

         Am         Dm
You just don't understand

     C          Dm
And would if my fingers

    C           Dm
To cut off and give you

       C        Dm
Could gain my redemption

    Am         Dm
I'd cut off my hands

    C              Dm
But words are like poison

     C             Dm
That bends you and blinds you

    C               Dm
And some things you do

         Am          Dm
You just don't understand

   C          Dm
So this is my story

    C              Dm
And I hope that it finds you

    C           Dm
For your sweet attention

  Am       Dm
I cannot demand

    C              Dm
And words are like poison

     C            Dm
That lives down inside you

    C               Dm
And some things you do

         Am          Dm
You just don't understand
