Randy Travis – Promises (Guitar)

E
Cheap perfume and painted faces, fallen angels fill the places

        A                           E
Where I go when my troubles pull me down.

E
And all the lies I know they'll tell me, and the time that they will sell me,

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

        E
Back at home in bed she's crying, for her love for me is dying.

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

         B                                  A
When the morning sun starts showing, to her bedside I'll be going,

           E               B7       B       E
And she'll hold me while I face the morning light.

              E
And I'll make promises, Promises to change.

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

               A                                     B                  A      B
And I'll start giving all the love she needs If only she will stay…

         E
And once again she'll reassure me, and I believe her love will cure me.

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

E
And I know she's just a woman, and her love can't last forever.

            F#                                  B
And someday soon, I know she'll 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,

              B               A    B           C     D     E
And while I'm sleeping she'll quietly say goodbye…
