Never again
Isn't that [Bb] what you say?
You've [F] been through this before and I swore this time you'd think with your [Bb] head
No one
Would ever have you [Dm] again
[D] [Bb] And if taking was gonna get done you'd decide [C] where and when
Just [Dm] when you think [Bb] you
thought down
your [F] heart's a curely
tied [Bb] and bound
There is [Gm] no [G] promises
[Am] in my [Dm] mind
[Bb] [F]
I've been ready for a lot of [Bb] battles and fights
[F]
Many moments made you give [Bb] the other fights
But passion you could wish to [Dm] let someone in
[D] [Bb] All the warnings went off in your head so you [C] had to give in
Just when you think [Bb] you thought it down
[F] There's no where to [Bb] go
If you spurn [Gm]
promises
[Am] you'll get [Dm] hurt
by
the
[Am] [F]
promises
[C] You [G] know what they're for
It [F] sounds so convincing
But you've [G] heard it before
[Bb] The stock is [C] cheap
And you [Dm] gotta be sure
And I am one of them
[C] And you try to be [Bb] [C] a jack
[D] [Am] [Dm]

[Bb] [Am] [Dm] [Am]
[Bb] [C] [Dm]
[C] [Bb]
[C] [Dm] [Gm] [Dm]
[Dm] [Bb]
[F] You desperately search for a way to conquer [Bb]
fear
[F] No line of attack has been planned to fight [Bb] them it seems
A fire and a restless plea from some old woman [Dm] lost
[Bb] On the edges where it seems it's well, well, [C] well caught
Just when you [C] think [Bb] you thought it down
Your [F] heart in pieces on
[Bb] ground
They whisper [Gm] promises
[Am] You'll get hurt
