You Promised


D Bm G A D Bm G She was crying out my name, Standing in the driveway Little bare feet wearing her cotton dress and I D Bm G I still see the rain chasing tears down her face It was back in October when I said it’s over and hid Bm A G Behind the door, behind the shame of my conviction Bm A G Bedside myself ,beside some empty pill prescription Can hear her screamig' no D A No baby don't, you making my heart hurt Bm Don’t say those words G A Take it back, you know you don't mean that D A You swore when I wore your ring It meant forever Bm A G I've got it on baby, how can you say I lost it Oh, you promised D Bm G Started crying while I was sleeping, waking up and reaching out To a bed as empty as the heart inside my chest D Bm G So I gathered up some pictures, i said i had somethin to give her I let her read a letter, i had a written her to give her on the day we tied the knot Bm A I saw the tears G I saw them fall as she read the part of my growing old Bm A G I heard her words, i heard her say it'll never work And hit my knees and cried D A No baby don't you're making my heart hurt Bm Don’t say those words G Take it back, you know you dont mean it D A You swore when you wore my ring It meant forever Bm A G You’ve got it on baby, How can you say you lost it Bm Yeah and you promised Bm We were different people then A Look at all the hateful things we’ve said G And I’m just as guilty,but girl you that's no wat to be Bm Take it easy baby I’m still broken A Memories enough to tear me wide open G When you see me girl you curse my name Makes me wanna say no D A No baby don't you're making my heart hurt Bm Don’t say those words G A Take it back, you know you dont mean it D A You swore when you wore my ring We said forever Bm A G But You took it off baby, safet ot say we're though Bm A G But no matter what you do you know i'll always love you Hell I have to Cause I Promised
