The Magnetic Fields – Promises Of Eternity (Guitar)

            F#             B    F# C#
What if the show didn't go ooo-ooo-on?

           F#       C#
What if we all got jobs

    B      F#          C#
And got to bed before dawn?

            F#            B   F#   C#
What if old Joe had to retiii-iii-ire?

            F#         C#           B   F#   C#
What if all the stage hands were let go or fired?

                          B           F#
That's just like what the world would be

   C#               B
If you fell out of love with me

                 F#
I can't let this happen to you

                 B
Don't you let it happen to me

               C#                  B
What would our friends and family say?

              F#        C#
If they could only see

                F#
If you let this happen to us

                     B
Don't think you'd be setting me free

          C#             B
Wasn't it you and I who made

             F#        C#
Promises of eternity?

            F#               B   F#   C#
What if the lights didn't go ooo-ooo-on?

            F#      C#
What if the velvet curtain

B      F#        C#
Had to be taken down?

            F#                  B    F#   C#
What if the clowns couldn't be clooo-ooo-owns?

              F#       C#
And all those painted smiles

     B     F#         C#
Gave in to plaintive frowns

            F#                 B  F#   C#
What if no show ever happened aga-aaa-ain?

   F#          C#           B       F#          C#
No Seven,  no eight and a half, no nine, and no ten

                   B    F#
All numbers and no mystery

   C#           B
No promise of eternity

                 F#
I can't let this happen to you

                 B
Don't you let it happen to me

               C#                  B
What would our friends and family say?

              F#        C#
If they could only see

                F#
If you let this happen to us

                     B
Don't think you'd be setting me free

          C#             B
Wasn't it you and I who made

             F#        C#
Promises of eternity?

                 F#
I can't let this happen to you

                 B
Don't you let it happen to me

               C#                  B
What would our friends and family say?

              F#        C#

                     B
Don't think you'd be setting me free

          C#             B     F#
Wasn't it you and I who made

          C#             B
Wasn't it you and I who made
