The promise of [A] you, it sleeps in the air, the air that [Em] I breathe.
[G] And I know that it's [D] true, don't have to [A] convince myself to believe.

[B] [Em] [G] [E]
[B] [F#]
[B] But secrets [G] sleep [F#m] in the heart of [C#] a [B] man.
[F#]
[B] So much love [G] wasted, slipped back to my hands.
You see it in the eyes of the lonely, as they make their weary [A] way to shimmer in my eyes of the lonely.
[F#] And I hear it say, [G] the promise of [D] you, it sleeps in [A] the air, the air that [Em] I breathe.
[G] And I know that [D] it's true, don't have to [A] convince myself to believe, to [B] [Em] believe.
[G] [E]
[B] [Em] [F#]
[B] But secrets sleep in [A] the heart of a man.
[F#]
[B] And my dreams of [G] salvation [F#] are slipping [B] out of sight.
[F#]
[B] In the shimmering moments of the twilight, [G] [F#] closing up the shine,
[Bm] the whisper on the wind of a [B] rescue, the [F#] savior is [G] nigh.
The promise [D] of you, it sleeps in [A] the air, [E] the air that I breathe.
[Em]
[G] And I know that [D] it's true, don't have to [A] convince myself to [C] believe.
And all [D] this time, [G] I've been fighting my own [D] private wars.
[C] And all [D] this time, your [A] peace I've searched [Em] for.
[B] [Bm]
[B] [Em] [F#m]
[F#m] [B] [Em] [A]
[B] [Bm] The [A]
[G] promise [D] of you, it sleeps in [A] the air, the air that [Em] I breathe.
[D] And I know that [D] it's true, don't have to [A] convince myself to believe.
[G] The promise [D] of you, it sleeps in [A] the air, the air [Em] that I breathe.
