[A]
I promised myself, I promised I'll wait for [E] you
the midnight [Bm] hour I know [A] you'll shine [E] on through
I promised [A] myself, I promised the world to [E] you
I gave you [Bm] flowers, you made my [A] dreams come [E] true
How [C#m]
many of [F#] us out there feel the [Bm] need
run and look [E] for shelter?
I promised [A] myself, that I'd take refuge
[E]
brand new [B] tomorrow, where all your [A] wishes come [E] true
I promised [A] myself, that I'd make it up to [E] you
sister [Bm] and brother, [B]
know I'm [F#m] in love with [E] you
How [C#m]
many of [F#] us out there feel the [B] pain
of [D] losing what [E] was once there?
God, I [C#m] know what people say [F#] about her
no [Bm] mistake, who can live [E] without her?
