Promises

E                         Ab7
This spirit is holding us down
Dbm                          A
We shit our shoulders are in deep
E                 Ab7
Pulling us to the light
Dbm                      A
Toasted our backs in the sun

Gbm                       Dbm
And I waited for the next call
Gbm                 B                   E
We got all out ears pressed against the wall

E                        Ab7
But now our days are set straight
Dbm                        A
We're seeing it all eye to eye
E                            Ab7
The balance is still chasing after
Dbm                         A
Just hanging on as you walk by

Continues after the ad
B7*      B7            E
And they say it's only natural
B7*      B7                      E
They say we're coming along just fine
Dbm                                      Gbm     (B)
But I can't help thinking we grew up too fast    (Woah)
Dbm                                   Gbm
And I know, I know, I know this won't last
         B              E
A second longer than it has

E   Ab       A     E      Ab       A
Children you will, be cared for at once
E      Ab      A    E        Ab   A            E
And wanted our arms like promises plucked from above

( E  Ab7  Dbm  A ) (2x)

E                          Ab7
This world is only getting smaller
Dbm                           A
The choices aren't ours to be made
E           Ab7
And I to my days
Dbm                    A
I feel like wasting my days

Gbm                           E
And I can't see what's coming on
B7*         B7                 E
And I can't say it will all be fine
Dbm                                     Gbm     (B)
No I can't help thinking we grew up too fast    (Woah)
Dbm                                     Gbm     (B)
No I can't help thinking we grew up too fast    (Woah)
Dbm                                   Gbm
And I know, I know, I know this won't last
         B              E
A second longer than it has
