Broken Promise

Intro: 2 measures instrumental

Verse:
Dm                   Am
Oh, I don't know why people lie
    C                G
and I don't know why people die
Dm                  Am
EVerytime I see you shout at me
         C                       
cause of all of the things in the 
            G
world that I can't see

Pre Chorus: (2nd verse, substitute 
words in parentheses)
Dm                    Am
And what I think goes on in this 
world
      C                         G
for a mother and a father and a boy 
and a girl (kid)
            Dm                Am
is that the more you earn the less 
you learn
          C                  G
there's a fact in life where you 
(we) will burn

Continues after the ad
Chorus:
G                 Dm
And I never could believe it
      Am             C
and I never could be true
        G                   Dm
father, things that mean so much to 
me
      Am                C
don't mean that much to you
      G           Dm
and I never could believe the way
    Am            C
you told me I was wrong
       G                    Dm
if I'm right and if you are simple 
sin
    Am               C
for God's sake I was wrong

2 measures instrumental: Dm Am C G

Verse:
Oh I don't know how I think this way
how you sit there looking at me all 
day
there's more to you than I can see
there's a shadow of a mother hanging
 over me

Chorus

4 measures instrumental: Dm Am C G

Outro Chorus:
G                    Dm           
Oh I tell you out of heaven and I 
Am              C
tell you out of hell
and I see your life in ruins, you're
 just earning that as well
and I cry out in my loneliness, well
 used to be your peace
but you'll never see my face again, 
oh I need words like these
