[Intro]
Em
You've got what I want
[Verse 1]
                  Bm
You've got what I want
Oh yeah! It's only for the night
            G                       A
And I will give it back tomorrow I swear

               Bm
She can barely breathe
Don't stare I know the dress is tight
           G            A
But it was all I had to wear

               Bm
Give me what I need
Please share You know it's only right
            G
And I would never lie to you

           A
I wouldn't dare
[Chorus]
D         A     Bm     A
I made a promise to myself

   G        Em
I wouldn't start with anyone else but

 D               A            Bm
You know how it is with these promises

A           G
Made in the heat of the moment
[Bridge]
         Em                  C
They're made to be broken in two

              D             Em
Sometimes the only thing to do
[Verse 2] Oh no! It's all coming back
       C                            D
How I came to in a sticky three-day hole

               Em
Didn't see the sign
Go slow
                              C   D
Too busy tuning static on the radio

                   Em
She hissed it in a song
Don't go It always fades to black
           C
But that's why I love the trip

        D
It's so inevitable
[Chorus]
G         D     Em     D
I made a promise to myself

   C        Am         D
I wouldn't start with anyone else but

 G               D            Em
You know how it is with these promises

D           C
Made in the heat of the moment
[Bridge]
         Am                       F
They're made to be less than they seem

                            Em
Whenever you've got what I need
[Verse 3] And you've got what I need Aaaiiieee! For service with a smile
           C
I have to walk in on my hands

             D
And roll for free

                      Em
You say it's all the same
Ennui You're not the real snow white
    C                         D
The real snow white is on my knee

                 Em
I didn't need to get ID
It's simply minimum height
            C
And getting all dressed up

                 D
In seven ways to please
[Chorus]
 G         D     Em     D
I made a promise to myself

   C        Am         D
I wouldn't start with anyone else but

 G               D            Em
You know how it is with these promises

D           C
Made in the heat of the moment
[Bridge]
         Am               F
They're made to be broken one day

                          Em
If there's no time to get away
[Verse 4] Uh-oh! She wasn't made to shine
        C                        D
She was really only ever made to glow

                  Em
I left her in the dark
No show Quiet sucking on a line
C                       D
It was a tricky gun to load

                     Em
And I didn't get to fire
Hi-ho! She's off to work for time
  C                             D
I should have finished out with higher
Up than low [Chorus]
G         D     Em     D
I made a promise to myself

   C        Am         D
I wouldn't start with anyone else but

 G               D            Em
You know how it is with these promises

D           C
Made in the heat of the moment

        Am                   F
They're made before right becomes wrong

                           Em
Whenever you've got what I want
[Outro] And you've got what I want Oh yeah! It's only for the night
           C             D
And I will give it back tomorrow

  Em
I swear
