Promises In the Dark

F Bb
Never again, Isn�t that what you said?
F
You�ve been through this before
Bb
This time you swore you�d think with your head
Bb Dm
No one, would ever have you again

Bb
And if takin� was gonna get done
C
You�d decide where and when
Dm C Bb
Just when you think you got it down
F Bb
Your heart securely tied and bound
BbAG A C Dm (Riff Dm
A G F Bb G Bb)
They whisper, promises in the dark

F
Armed and ready you fought love battles in the night
F Bb
But too many opponents made you weary of the fight
Bb Dm
Blinded by passion, you foolishly let someone in
Bb
All the warnings went off in your head
C
Still you had to give in

Dm C Bb
Just when you think you got it down
F Bb
Resistance no where to be found
BbAG A C Dm (Riff Dm
A G F Bb G Bb)
They whisper, promises in the dark
Bb C G
But promises, you know what there for
F G
It sounds so convincing, but you heard it before
Bb C Dm
Cause talk is cheap and you gotta be sure
Dm Dm Dm Dm
And so you put up your guard

C Bb C Dm
And you try to be hard but your heart says try again
LEAD
Riff Dm Bb A G F X8
Bb C Dm Dm Dm Dm Dm
Dm Dm Dm Dm C
C
(Riff Dm Bb A G F Bb G Bb)

F Bb
You desperately search for a way to conquer the fear

Bb
No line of attack has been planned to fight back the tears
Bb Dm
Where brave and restless dreams are both won and lost
Bb C
On the edge is where it seems it�s well worth the cost
Dm C Bb
Just when you think you got it down
F Bb
Your heart in pieces on the ground
BbAG A C Dm(Riff Dm Bb
G F Bb G Bb)
They whisper, promises in the dark
