G            D             C
There's a Bible on the dresser and a sign hung on the door
       D          C                  G   C   D
And a woman in my arms who shouldn't be
           G             D           C         C/B    Am7    C/B
I'm to the point of no returning but I've been here before
      D               C              G     D
This cheating life is nothing new to me

            G            D            C
There's someone to be considered so I call her on the phone
            D             C             G      C   D
And say the job is taking longer than I planned
        G                 D               C          C/B       Am7    C/B
I don't have the heart to tell her that a stranger's turned me on
         D             C              G     C  D
And I'm headed for the broken promise land


[Chorus]
G                    C             D                  Em7
Tonight I'm crossing over and I'll reach the cheating side
         G               D           Am    C/B   C   D
And I'll hate myself for coming here again
          G                      C           D                  Em7
Where the streets are paved with misery, and lives are built on lies
  G                   D              C     G    C
A place they call the broken promise land


[Verse 2]
          G                D             C
I found a note left on the dresser and a key left in the door
           D                  C              G    C   D
And on the floor, I found her golden wedding band
          G              D                 C      C/B  Am7   C/B
Guess she finally had to tell me she's not waiting anymore
      D              C              G     C  D
She's headed for the broken promise land


[Chorus]
G                      C               D                  Em7
Tonight she’s crossing over and she’ll reach the cheating side
         G           D              Am    C/B   C   D
And I'll hate myself giving her the chance
           G                      C           D                  Em7
‘Cause the streets are paved with misery, and lives are built on lies
  G                   D              C
A place they call the broken promise land
G                           C
   And it’s more than I can stand
G     C
