F                                Bb
Never again, Isn't that what you said?

            F
You've been through this before

                                          Bb
This time you swore you'd think with your head

Bb                          Dm
No one, would ever have you again

            Bb
And if takin' was gonna get done

                       C
You'd decide where and when

              Dm  C     Bb
Just when you think you got it down

Your heart securely tied and bound

A G F Bb G Bb)
They whisper, promises in the dark

F
Armed and ready you fought love battles in the night

     F                                          Bb
But too many opponents made you weary of the fight

Bb                                            Dm
Blinded by passion, you foolishly let someone in

             Bb
All the warnings went off in your head

                      C
Still you had to give in

                 Dm  C    Bb
Just when you think you got it down

Resistance no where to be found
BbAG A C Dm (Riff Dm
A G F  Bb G Bb)
They whisper, promises in the dark

     Bb        C             G
But promises, you know what there for

              F                           G
It sounds so convincing, but you heard it before

      Bb       C                     Dm
Cause talk is cheap and you gotta be sure

           Dm Dm Dm Dm
And so you put up your guard

        C                       Bb          C        Dm
And you try to be hard but your heart says try again
LEAD Riff Dm Bb A G F X8 Bb C Dm Dm Dm Dm Dm Dm Dm Dm Dm C C (Riff Dm Bb A G F Bb G Bb)
     F                                          Bb
You desperately search for a way to conquer the fear

                                                  Bb
No line of attack has been planned to fight back the tears

      Bb                                     Dm
Where brave and restless dreams are both won and lost

       Bb                                     C
On the edge is where it seems it's well worth the cost

               Dm  C    Bb
Just when you think you got it down

              F                   Bb
Your heart in pieces on the ground
BbAG A C Dm(Riff Dm Bb
G F  Bb G Bb)
They whisper, promises in the dark
