Intro:
A augmentedA

Verse:
      D MajorD          A augmentedA
I heard you swear your love this morning,
            E MajorE      A augmentedA
And it caught me almost wanting to believe.
         D MajorD          A augmentedA
The three little words that serve as warning,
          E MajorE         A augmentedA
And say its just a promise you can't keep.

Chorus:
D MajorD
 A augmentedA statement that's been so used,
A augmentedA
 I felt compelled to tell you.
E MajorE               A augmentedA
 But knew there wasn't much to say.
D MajorD
 I could have threatened leavin',
A augmentedA
 Or listed hopeless reasons,
BB               E MajorE
 If I didn't have this need to stay.

A augmentedA      D MajorD         A augmentedA
Three little words should be my warning,
              E MajorE         A augmentedA
'Cause I know that's just a promise you can't keep.
