Promises in the Dark

Never again, isn't that what you said?

You've been through this before and you swore,

this time, you'd think with your head.

No one would ever have you (Dm)again.

(Am)And if takin' was gonna get done,

you'd decide where and (C)when.

Just when you (Dm)think (C)you (Bb)got it down.

Your heart securely tied and bound.

They whisper (Gm)promises (Am)in (Am7)the (Dm)dark.

(F)Armed and ready, you fought love battles in the (Bb)night.

But too many opponents made you weary of the fight.

Blinded by passion, you foolishly let someone (Dm)in.

(Am)All the (Bb)warnings went off in your head,

still you had to give (C)in.

Just when you (Dm)think (C)you (Bb)got it down.

Resistance (F)nowhere to be found.

They whisper (Gm)promises (Am)in the (Dm)dark.

(F)But promises, (C)you know what they're (G)for.

It sounds so (F)convincing,

But you heard it (G)before.

'Cause (Bb)talk is cheap (C)and you gotta be (Dm)sure.

And so you put up your guard,

and you try to be hard but your (Bb)heart says (C)try (Dm)again.

(Bb)You (F)desp'rately search for a way to conquer the (Bb)fear.

No (F)line of attack has been planned to fight back the (Bb)tears.

Where brave and restless dreams are both won and (Dm)lost.

(Am)On the (Bb)edge is where it seems it's well worth the (C)cost.

Just when you (Dm)think (C)you (Bb)got it down.

Your heart in (F)pieces on the ground.

They whisper (Gm)promises (Am)in (Am7)the (Dm)dark.
