Promise

B

B
ye lowlives
laughing too much
never close your eyes
til the sun's coming up
Abm          E              B
underslept, overdreamt

B

B
my whole life
trying to speak
but silent
with so much beneath it
Abm        E
that thick wind under the surface
F#                    Ebm
you don't know me, or my purpose
E             F#                B
or my promise, i got promise

B
your hands and feet
for all of their grief
turned out to be
                                 Abm
only your elbows and knees
                E                         B
you go farther, you're just starting to see

B
and you see that red pen
hover in judgement
and that census
                          Abm
get those numbers away from us
          E             F#
cause honest, we got nothing
              Ebm              E
in our pockets but thin wrists
         F#           B
and promise, we got promise

B               Abm
i'm waking up
                      B               Abm
pull me from my sheets in the dark
                      B               Abm
as if in a dream, lifting off
                      B               Abm
let me feel it shift in my blood
                      B               Abm
let me feel like i'm rising up
                      B               Abm
out of all the ashes and dust
                      B               Abm
out of all the past - that's done
                                  B               Abm
 i don't need what's long dead and gone, man,
B (Ebm) Abm (E)
i got promise
B (Ebm) Abm (E)
i got promise…
