Set It Off – Plastic Promises (Guitar Intro)

B                C#m    F#m C#m        C#m
 Just give me a chance, she said as I packed my things

A              C#m F#m  C#m                C#m
 But I already did four times, don't you remember?

A                C#m    F#m C#m             C#m
 I won't blow it again, she said, with her fingers crossed

A         C#m              C#m
 But she forgot about the mirror behind her

F#m            G#
 I'm done with plastic promises

C#m           A       E
 Please don't tell me that we're fine

      B        C#m
I got too much on my mind

       A                E       B
Isn't this too plain to see? Maybe

C#m           A                E
 Cause we've lost too much to gain

         B             C#m
We were dancing in the rain

         A           B
Tell me what am I to do

       B              C#m
With a double dose of you?

           F#m
A dose of you

N.C.              C#m          C#m           F#m
 Her lips are the gun and her tongue are the bullets

A                 C#m           C#m            F#m
 She could save a life, but she took mine away instead

A                   C#m     C#m        E    F#m        A
 And we gave it our all, so don't call me a quitter, no

         C#m                       C#m
And I've swear I've tried too many times before but

F#m              N.C.
 I'm done with plastic promises

C#m           A       E
 Please don't tell me that we're fine

      B        C#m
I got too much on my mind

       A                E       B
Isn't this too plain to see? Maybe

C#m           A                E
 Cause we've lost too much to gain

         B             C#m
We were dancing in the rain

         A           B
Tell me what am I to do

                      C#m
With a double dose of you

      C#m                 C#m
Don't try to defy or even make an attempt

   C#m                       Am                 C#m
My blinders are off and I am running again from you

         B          C#m           A        C#m
Am I okay? Am I okay? I know I'll be okay again

           C#m    A
So here we go, I know

       E           G#                 C#m
You'd kill for everything to stay the same

   A        E              B
In vain, we had to go our separate ways

     C#m           A                   E
When you proved to me that you would never change

   C#m        A         E
I finally woke up and exclaimed

D#        B                G#
 That I'm done with these plastic promises

C#m          A       E
Please don't tell me that we're fine (We're not)

      B        C#m
I got too much on my mind

       A                E       B
Isn't this too plain to see? Maybe

C#m           A                E
 Cause we've lost too much to gain

         B             C#m
We were dancing in the rain

         A           B
Tell me what am I to do

                      C#m
With a double dose of you
