E                          F#
Good for me , for a time.  All hells  cubically contained
             A  
Starched and bottled , pressed and altered
        E
And I'm ready for the rings

          E                        F#
The first tiny little shadows of my  creepy little thoughts
    A
Inhabit it all that matters 
E
And I lose by default

[Chorus]
      A               B
And I never promise  anything again
  A              B
I never promise  anything again
  A              B               E
I never promise     anything again

[Verse 2]
  E                                   F#
I set a dozen twelve step traps , They   slipped by everyone 
  A
I never catch the little bastards
         E
I really do wish that they'd own up

      E                                   F#
Those paranoid little fuckers , take their   paranoid little time
             A
And when the moon rolls in , they're like a bank robbin
          E
And I'm a hostage who will drive

[Chorus]
      A             B
And I never promise anything again
  A             B           
I never promise anything again
  A              G             D/F#
I never promise ,never promise ,never promise 
C/E               E
Anything again ,anything again
G              D/F#
Never promise ,never promise 
C/E                E
Anything again , anything again
G      D/F#   C/E     B      E
Never promise 

[Verse 3]
    E                               F#
Now I can only do so much and I will  never deviate
  A
I hear myself take a deep breath 
                    E
And I think I must a   wanted it this way

  E                                       F# 
I remember all those little traps, I could  not keep them in place
    A
And whenever stationed anywhere 
         E
They were  terrorized and maimed

   E                            F#
So tonight I set my vigil and my  shadows all that's cast
    A
And the iron that's encased it
        E
Is doing  all that one could ask

[Chorus]
      A              B
And I never promise  anything again
  A              B
I never promise  anything again
  A                G               D/F#
I never promise ,  never promise  ,never promise
C/E                E
Anything again , anything again
G               D/F#
Never promise , never promise
C/E                E
anything again , anything again 
G      D/F#   C/E   B           E (strum to end)
Never promise
