 Promise
 
 Here we are now in the backyard On the warm ground out at sundown
 E                                 
 But in twelve days I'll be halfway
 E                                          
 Cross the world, I'm too tired to be afraid
 Aadd4 
 
 You've got green eyes, I had foresight
 E                                      
 When I said we'd be good I was so right
                                     Aadd4 
 If we lay here, spend every day here
 F#m                     Aadd4                    
 Well our legs might take root and we'll grow dear
 E Aadd4 
  
 I made a promise to
 E                  
 I made a promise to
 E                      
 I made a promise to you
 F#m C#m A 
    
 (Break)
 E Aadd4 
   
 I'd protect you if I had to
 E                                 
 So the bad parts never get through
                                Aadd4 
 From the outside into your life
 E                                            
 We can try but we might have some hard nights
                                         Aadd4 
 Now we can't speak 'neath the pine trees
 E                                               
 And I swear that there's air but I can't breathe
                                     Aadd4 
 I need your heat, I've got cold feet
 F#m                     Aadd4                 
 It's the thought that still makes this so easy
 E Aadd4 
  
 I made a promise to
 E                  
 I made a promise to
 E                      
 I made a promise to you
 F#m               C#m     A   
 That we'd still feel brand new
 E                             
 That we'd still feel brand new
 E                             
 That we'd still feel something
 F#m C#m A

 E   Aadd4 Bsus4 C#m7 
 Bsus4 E (x4)
 
 She's not too fond of history
 C#m7            Bsus4          E 
 Hearing loud of abrasive speech
 C#m7           Bsus4           Aadd4 
 She's unique in the way she eats
 C#m7           Bsus4 Aadd4 
 oh yeah she loves me
 C#m7         Bsus4            E 
 Why she does hell I cannot say
 C#m7            Bsus4          E 
 I can't seem to stay in one place
 C#m7           Bsus4        Aadd4 
 Always gone and I'm far away
 C#m7          Bsus4        Aadd4 
  from the smile on her face
 C#m7 Bsus4 E 
    
 (Repeats throughout last section)
 E   Aadd4 Bsus4 C#m7 
 Bsus4 E (x6)
 
 Was it something that I couldn't say?
 Fast enough to get away
 And though I tried to make a clean escape
 You left me with an even break
 
 And i think I saw myself in you
 But I think you saw a proper fool
 And I know we broke every rule
 With everything we didn't do
 
 I'll remember every day
 If you remember every dumb mistake
 That you made cause you were late
 But its my fault I made you wait
 
 In this city I cant speak
 Well you know this place is killing me
 And it's harder to believe
 But it's hard enough to watch you leave
