Broken Promise Land

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

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

         D             C    
And I'm headed for the broken 
          G     C  D
promise land


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


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


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