Dark Promises chords by Matt Mays

Matt Mays - Dark Promises
Album: One Upon a Hell of a Time (2017)

You may want to play your A chord using only your index finger, then use your pinky to play the G# on the 4th
fret of the low E-sting when walking down to F#m

Intro:
F#m A x4

Verse 1:
D                     A
I met her in the spring
D                       A
When the earth began to breathe again
D                      A
She snuck in with the dawn
D

And just like summer she was gone

Verse 2:
F#m              A
Lonely is just a word
F#m                       A
And it don't mean shit to me
F#m                        A
Cause I'm a hummingbird in hawk wings
D
Designed to be free

Chorus:
    F#m                        A         A/G#
And all your dark promises are gone
        F#m
And the tears that fall down my face
A                 A/G#
Soon will turn to stone now
    F#m                        A          A/G#
And all your dark promises are gone
          D (hold)
Cause I'm sick of throwing stones up at your window

Verse 3:
                   A
Broken hearts beat harder
   D                        A
On highways built along the water
D                         A
How many times do I gotta tell you
                 D
It's all in your mind

Verse 4:
F#m             A
Nothing is what it seems
           F#m                 A
We're just dust in the arclight beams
F#m                        A
Shining off the back of my eyelids
                D (hold)
While I lay here

While I lay here trying to dream

Chorus:
    F#m                        A         A/G#
And all your dark promises are gone
        F#m
And the tears that fall down my face
A                 A/G#
Soon will turn to stone now
    F#m                        A          A/G#
And all your dark promises are gone
          D
Cause I'm sick of throwing stones up at your window

Solo:
F#m A A/G# x2

Bridge:
        F#m
For the love
        A
For the love
        F#m
For the love
        A     A/G#
For the love
        D
For the love

For the love

Chorus:
    F#m                        A         A/G#
And all your dark promises are gone
        F#m
And the tears that fall down my face
A                 A/G#
Soon will turn to stone now
   F#m                        A         A/G#
And all your dark promises are gone
    F#m                        A         A/G#
Yeah all your dark promises are gone
    F#m
Are gone
    A A/G#
Are gone
