Promises chords by Lyle Lovett

Chords with lyrics

C majorC    DmDm
Promises given
  C majorC    DmDm
And promises broken
C majorC       DmDm
Words stain my lips
     A minorAm     DmDm
Just like blood on my hands


  C majorC       DmDm
And words are like poison
   C majorC         DmDm
That sinks down inside you
   C majorC       DmDm
And some things you do
     A minorAm     DmDm
You just don't understand

  C majorC    DmDm
I offer no reason
  C majorC     DmDm
I ask for no pity
 C majorC     DmDm
I make no excuse
    A minorAm     DmDm
For the way that I am

  C majorC       DmDm
And words are like poison
   C majorC         DmDm
That sinks down inside you
  C majorC        DmDm
And some things you do
     A minorAm     DmDm
You just don't understand

  C majorC    DmDm
If God is my witness
   C majorC     DmDm
Then God is my savior
    C majorC      DmDm
But if you are my judge
     A minorAm   DmDm
Then I'm already damned

  C majorC        DmDm
And words are like poison
   C majorC      DmDm
That sinks down inside you
  C majorC        DmDm
And some things you do
     A minorAm     DmDm
You just don't understand

   C majorC     DmDm
And would if my fingers
  C majorC      DmDm
To cut off and give you
    C majorC    DmDm
Could gain my redemption
  A minorAm     DmDm
I'd cut off my hands

  C majorC       DmDm
But words are like poison
   C majorC       DmDm
That bends you and blinds you
  C majorC        DmDm
And some things you do
     A minorAm     DmDm
You just don't understand

  C majorC     DmDm
So this is my story
  C majorC       DmDm
And I hope that it finds you
  C majorC      DmDm
For your sweet attention
 A minorAm    DmDm
I cannot demand

  C majorC       DmDm
And words are like poison
   C majorC      DmDm
That lives down inside you
  C majorC        DmDm
And some things you do
     A minorAm     DmDm
You just don't understand
