   C                          F
I made myself a promise, the day you put me down

 G7                         C
That I wouldn't see you if you came around

     C                                 F
But here you are, within my arms, the way you used to be

        G                              C
And I broke the promise that I made to me
[Verse 2]
      C                             F
They told me you were at a dance as I prepared to go

   G7                            C
I made myself a promise that I'd only say hello

   C                                 F
I knew you'd only hurt me, but it's such sweet misery

       G                              C
So I broke the promise that I made to me
[Chorus]
   G                           C
A broken promise always means someone will surely cry

    D                                  G
And I know who that someone's bound to be

       C                           F
And tomorrow I'll be sorry that I told myself a lie

      G                              C
And broke the promise that I made to me
[Interlude] | G | G | C | C | [Chorus]
   G                           C
A broken promise always means someone will surely cry

    D                                  G
And I know who that someone's bound to be

       C                           F
And tomorrow I'll be sorry that I told myself a lie

      G                              C
And broke the promise that I made to me
