[C#m] [B] [C#]
[B]
[A#m] I still [B] talk [E] to you [B] in my sleep
I don't say much [F#] cause the hurt runs too deep
[E] I [B] gave you the moon [C#m] and the stars [B] to keep
[C#m] But [B] you gave [G#m] them back to me
[E] The hill [B] I'm walking [C#m] up is [B] getting good [F#] and steep
[B]
[C#] But [E] I'm still [B]
looking for [C#m] a promise [B] even I [F#]
[G#] [B] can't keep
[F#]
[B] I still [A#m] lay on [E] my side [B] of the bed
I dance alone when [F#] the last bottle's spent
[E] Memories like [C#] a river running through [B] my head
I have me an ocean [G#m] before I'm dead
[E] The [B] hill I'm walking up [C#] is [B] getting good [F#] and [G#] steep
[B]
[C#] [E] But I'm [B] still looking [C#] for a promise [B] even I [F#] can't keep
[D#m] [F#] [B]
I still [E] whisper [B] sweet words to you
And when I'm busy [F#] with nothing to do
[E] I pray to [B] God [C#m] that my words [B] ring true
And that your words might [G#m] reach me too
[E] The [B] hill I'm walking [C#] up is [B] getting good [F#] and [E] steep
[B] [C#]

[E] [B] [C#m] [B]
[C#m] [B]
heart's in pieces [E] so please [B] understand
I'm trying to jump but [F#] I've nowhere to land
[E] So give me [B] your heart [C#m] and I'll give you my [B] hand
And try as goddamn [G#m]
hard as I can
[E] The [B] hill I'm walking [C#] up is [B] getting good [F#] and steep
[G#] [D#m] [C#]
[E] But I'm still [B] looking [C#] for a promise [B]
