Promises Like Pie-Crust

E             E7
Promise me no promises
  A           Am
So will I not promise you
E                E7
Keep we both our liberties
A                Am
 Never false and never true

G#
Let us hold the die uncast
C#m             A
Free to come as free to go
    E          B
For I cannot know your past
E       B                 E   [E7, A, Am]
 And of mine what can you know?


E                 E7
You, so warm, may once have been
A                Am
Warmer towards another one
E               E7
I, so cold, may once have seen
A                   Am
Sunlight, once have felt the sun

G#
Who shall show us if it was
C#m            A
Thus indeed in time of old?
E               B
Fades the image from the glass

E        B             E   [E7, A, Am]
And the fortune is not told


G#                   C#m
If you promised, you might grieve
    B            E
For lost liberty again
G#             C#m
If I promised, I believe
          B                E
I should fret to break the chain

G#
Let us be the friends we were
C#m              A
Nothing more but nothing less
E              B      E
Many thrive on frugal fare
E         B         E     [E7, A, Am]
Who would perish of excess


E              A
Promise me no promises

E             E7
Promise me no promises
  A           Am
So will I not promise you
E                E7
Keep we both our liberties
A                Am
 Never false and never true

G#

C#m             A

 And of mine what can you know?

    B            E
For lost liberty again
G#             C#m

          B         E

E, E7, A, Am
          Promises like pie-crust
E, E7, A, Am
          Promises like pie-crust
E, E7, A, Am... E
