Promise Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

You can do the A on the next string up with an 2 chord, but I find this way

easier. Most other chords, you can use full bar chords except the Bridge. Just

keep playing the pattern over each line until you reach a new chord. Step 2:

Find a really good bassist to play with you.

Intro

F♯5 A5 F♯5 E5

Verse

 Well Ya knF♯5ow that I wanA5t your loviF♯5ng, E5

but my logic tells me that it aint never gonna happen,

and then my defense is to say I didn't want it anyway,

but you know sometimes I'm a liar.

C♯mCould you ever want me to lBove you?

C♯mCould you ever want me to cBare?

F♯5Disregard my A5nervousnessF♯5, E5

please ignore my vacant stares,

Chorus

 'cause justC♯m what I've been thrBough,

 is nothing like where I'm going tAo.

F♯Give me some sAign to pursuF♯e, E

A promise,

 and you're unhappy. B

C...This is only a guess...

F♯5 A5 F♯5 E5

Verse 2

F♯5(guitar silenA5t at first F♯5slowly fades iE5n over similar bass line)

Do you know what it's like to hate

when it's way down deep inside?

Oh god, I hate what's been done to my life.

I could rule the pain,

I could rule the night,

or would I ruin my salvation,

ruin my mind.

Rule your pains,

rules of the night,

ruin your salvation,

ruin your miiiiiiiiiiiiiii.....

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii....

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiind.

Bridge

(For the A, I just play the open A string instead of the chord)

F♯5Ba da bC♯5a Ada B5ba C bop bop ba da da

(4X)

Play full F# bar chord here once and let ring right after last "da"

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

2,3,4!

Third Verse (same as the first, but stuttering a bit.)

F♯5Y'know that IA5 want your F♯5loving, E5

but then Mr. Logic, Mr. Logic tells me that it aint never gonna happen,

and then my defense is to say I didn't, I didn't want it anyway,

but you know sometimes I'm a liar.

C♯mCould you ever want me to lBove you?

CCould you ever want me to cBare?

F♯5Disregard my A5nervousnessF♯5, E5

please ignore my vacant stares,

 'cause justC♯m what I've been thrBough,

 is nothing like where I'm going Ato.

F♯Give me some sAign to pursuF♯e, E

A promise,

A promise,

Band you're unhappy,

and you're unhappy,

and you're unhappy,

and you're unhappy.

CThis is only a guess
