Chords

[Intro] E [Verse]
A      E
Cheap perfume and painted faces

               B    A    E
Fallen angles fill the places

 A                                   E
Where I go when my troubles pull me down

 E
All the lies I know they'll tell me

         E                   B   E
And the time that they will sell me

       F#m                          B
For a while I'll be the biggest man in town

         E
Back at home in bed she's crying

                         E
For her love for me is dying

            A                                  E
But she'll pray I make it safely through the night

           B
When the mornin' sun starts showing

          A
To her bedside I'll be going

            E               B                E
And she'll hold me while I face the morning light

                E
And I'll make promises

E
Promises to change

                 G#
I'll make her promises swear I'll rearrange

          A
And I'll start giving all the love she needs

E       B          A  B E
If only she will stay

E
Once again she'll reasure me and

   E
I believe her love will cure me

     A                                 E
And I'll fall asleep with tears on my face

E
Lord I know she's just a woman

         E
And her love can't last forever

      F#m
And someday soon I know she'll

         D#m     B
Leave without a trace

               E
For broken' promises
Will tear her dreams apart
             G#
Just token promises will someday break her heart

              A
And for the last time she'll hold me when I cry

      E        B
And while I'm sleeping

        A      B   C#m   B C#m D#m
She'll quietly say goodbye
[Outro] C7 E D E
