Promise

C                      C/Bb
I made a promise
Am7                   Fm6
To distance myself
C                      C/Bb
Took a flight, through aurora skies

Am7          Fm6
Honestly, I didn't think about
C                        C7
How we didn't say goodbye
F7M                    Fm6
Just see you very soon

Dm7
It hurts to be something
        Fm6                       C
It's worse to be nothing with you

( C7  Am7  Fm6 )

C                   C/Bb
So I didn't call you
Am7                   Fm6
For sixteen long days
C                            C/Bb
And I should get a cigarette
Am7                    Fm6
For so much restraint
                    C                  C/Bb
No matter how long I resist temptation
F7M                 Fm6
I will always lose

   Dm7
It hurts to be something
      Fm6                         Dm7
It's worse to be nothing with you

                   G7
I've done the math
                    C7M
There's no solution
                 A9
We'll never last
Dm7                 Fm6
Why can't I let go of this?

( C   C7   F7M   Fm6 )
( C   C7   F7M   Fm6 )

C                C/Bb
So I broke my promise
Am7              Fm6
I called you last night
C                              C/Bb
I shouldn't have, I wouldn't have
Am7                         Fm6
If it weren't for the sight of a boy
C
Who lookеd just like you
C7                          F7M  Fm6
Standing out on Melrose avеnue

Dm7
It hurts to be something
        Fm6                       C7M
It's worse to be nothing with you
C        C7   Am7  Fm6
Mm, mm-mm, mm
Dm7
It hurts to be something
       Fm6                        C
It's worse to be nothing with you
