Chords for Pat Benatar 6/27/16: 3 - Promises in the Dark (acoustic) "1st Personal Song story" - The Egg,Albany

_ Okay, so _ those of you that [B] follow us around all the time and come to the shows every year,
you know that we've been doing [E] a bunch of _ celebrating these last few years a lot of
anniversaries that have passed and we are now on our _ [N] 37th musical anniversary.
Oh [B] my gosh, _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] incredibly, it is well 33. _ _ _ _
And of course you [B] all know that Spider-Man celebrated our _ 34th [F#] wedding anniversary.
[A] Woo! _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] That was always my dream. _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ In 1979 we first met _ [E] in New York _ _ and we put the band together.
[B] We started to write [A] songs right away and _ _ you know we were young, [E] Spider was just turning
23 [B] and I was turning 26 and we were still pretty much babies [A] and we were in a new relationship
and it was [B] kind of awkward to write songs about our personal _ [E] relationship and then [A] sing
in front of everybody so we made a decision that we would [E] only write _ observational [B] songs
and that meant songs [A] that were about _ all y'all's problems and _ [Em] things we saw on TV [B] and things
we read in the newspaper, anything to [A] avoid writing about our personal stuff.
_ But [E] this next one that we're going to do [B] was _ _ the beginning of starting to get a little
[A] bit more comfortable and a little bit more grown [E] up in the relationship [B] and so this is
the very first song that we did write [A] about our personal stuff. _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ Faith, wait, this is my big [E] moment, this is my tech moment, get ready.
_ Are you ready?
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Never again, _ _ is that what [A] you said? _ _ _ _
_ _ _ You've been [E] through this [B] before and you swore this time you'd think with your [A] _ head. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ No _ one _ _ would ever have [C#m] you _
[D#] _ _ again.
[B] _ _ _ _
And if [A] taking was gonna get done, you'd decide [B] where and when.
_ _ _ _ _ Just when you [G#] think [B] _ _ [A] you've got it done. _ _ _
_ _ _ Your heart's [E] securely [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
tied and [A] _ bound.
_ They whisper _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ [F#] promises _ _ _ _
_ [G#] _ if _ [G#m] you _ _ [C#] lie.
_ [A] _ _ [G#m] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ Proving the cause of [A] thousands of lies. _ _
_ [E] Won't you give me a moment's peace, you'll be the [A] first to fly. _ _
_ _ And I drink my passion in foolishly, [F#m] let someone else. _
_ _ [A] All the warnings went off in your head, so you had [B] to give in. _
Just [C#] when you [A] think you've got it down. _ _ _
_ _ [E] Resistance nowhere _ to [A] be _ found.
They whisper _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _
promises.
_ [G#] _ _ _ _ [D#] And the [F#m] _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _

[F#m] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _
[A] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ promises, _ [B] _
[F#] you know what they're for. _
_ It's [B] time to show guilty _ _ those who hurt [F#] it before. _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ Thoughts shoot [B] and you've got [C#] to be _ strong _ _ [F#] and [C#] _ _ _ _

[E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] It's a space search for the weak [A] to conquer the _ _ feeble.
_ [C#] No line of attack [G#m] has been planned to [A] fight back the tears.
_ _ _ _ We're brave as the streets of [C#m] hope. _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ On [A] the air, the fair and sincere, it's [B] where we're the most.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [F#m] Just when you think [A] you've got it down.
_ _ _ Your heart [E] in pieces _ _ on [A] the ground. _ _ _ _
[F#m] Whisper _ _ _ promises _ _
