[Eb]
[Fm] [Db]
[Ab] If [Fm] I had [C] nothing to [Ab] my name [Bb] but photographs [Ab] of you [Bbm] rescued from [Fm] the [Db] flame
That [Fm] is all [Bb] I would ever [Ab] need [Bb] as long as I [Fm] can read [Fm] what's written on your [D] face
[Ebm] The [C] strength that [Fm] shines behind your [Eb] eyes
The [C] hope and
[Fm] light that [C] will never die
[Fm]
[Db] One promise [Ab] you [Eb] made
[Fm]
[Db] One promise [Ab] that always [Eb] remains
[Fm] Now [Ab] that [D] our price, [Ab] a promise to [Db] survive
[Bbm] [Bb] Persevere [Eb] and fight [Ab] [Eb] as we've always done
[Gb] Then [Fm] you said, [Db] the poison in [Ab] the kiss is [E] the lie [C] upon [Ab] the lips
[C] True words were [Fm] never [Db] shared
[Fm] Well I feel [C] like lies are all [Ab] I hear
[E] I pull my [Fm] memories near, [Bb] the one thing they [D] can't
[C] take
[F] [Fm]
[Db] One promise [Ab] you made
[Eb] One [Fm]
[Db] promise [Ab] that always [Eb] [Fm] remains
[Ab] Now that [D] our price, [Ab] a promise to [Db] survive
[Bb] Persevere [Eb] and fight as we've always done
The [E] porch still open [Ab] on the table
[B] The bells still ringing [E] in the air
[B] The drink still clinging [G] to the pillow
[C]
[Am] The song still singing [C] in the prayer [Fm] I sold
[Bb] Stretching through [Ab] the roots [Bb] to memories
[Eb] of you
[Dbm] Back through time [Fm] and [Db] space
To carry on [Bb] the faces and [Ab] the names
[Bb] And photographs of you [C] rescued from the [Fm] flames
One [Db] promise [Ab] you [Eb] made
[Fm] [Db] One promise [Ab] that always [Eb]
[Fm] remains
[Ab] One
[D] last [Ab] promise to [Db] survive
[Bb] Persevere
[Ab] and fight
[E] There lies [Fm] what's for
[Ab] Promise to [Db] survive
Persevere [Dbm] and fight
Fill the world [Ab] with [Eb] lies
As we've always done
