                I had dreams that were bigger    than the Montana sky 
                            A                             D
                And we were gonna do great in Great Falls
                                         E    E/F#   E
                I just knew we were this time 
                          D                 
                But when winter finally broke, so were we 
                                                A     D
                You'll never know how bad that hurt 
                       A                        E
                'Cause this ain't what I meant 
                        Esus            A
                When I promised you the world 


                  A                        
                I lost the farm in Kansas 
              D                      A
                Along with a lot of pride 

                        
                Then I almost lost my life 
              D                          E     Esus    E   
                Down in that West Virginia mine 
                         D              
                And that motel room in Memphis 
                                                  A       D
                Was a long way from diamonds and pearls 
                          A                             
                And that sure ain't what I meant 
             E           Esus           A           A7
                When I promised you the world

                I swear your love is stronger 
                          D                                A
                Than any dream of mine I've ever drug you through 
                      Bm
                And I swear I wasn't lyin' 
             D                           E   E/F#   E
                They just never did come true 
                              A         
                You've always bet on this old gambler 
             D                                A         D
                Every time I gave the wheel a whirl 
                    A         
                But this ain't what I meant 


             E          Esus            A
                When I promised you the world

                Now this Shreveport sun is settin' 

                On another broken dream of mine 
                
                And I guess that mansion on the hill 
                
                Is pretty hard to see tonight 
                
                But as long as there's a breath of life in me 
                
                I'm gonna get it for you, girl 
                
                'Cause this ain't what I meant 
                
                When I promised you the world 

                
                I swear your love is stronger 
                
                Than any dream of mine I've ever drug you through 
                
                And I swear I wasn't lyin' 
                
                They just never did come true 
                
                You've always bet on this old gambler 
                
                Every time I gave the wheel a whirl 
                
                But this ain't what I meant 
                
                When I promised you the world 

                
                No, this sure ain't what I meant
