The Promise

C                                      Am
If you need a friend, don't look to a stranger
                F                   C
You know in the end, I'll always be there
                                             Am
But when you're in doubt, and when you're in danger
                  F                 C
Take a look all around, and I'll be there

    C
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
  Am
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
    F
But if you'll wait around awhile, I'll make you fall for me
C               Am  G             C
I promise you, I promise you I will

C                                        Am
When your day is through, and so is your temper
                 F                       C
You know what to do, I'm gonna always be there
                                        Am
Sometimes if I shout, it's not what's intended
                      F                     C
These words just come out, with no gripe to bear

C
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
  Am
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
    F
But if you'll wait around awhile, I'll make you fall for me
C               Am G
I promise you, I promise you

C
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
  Am
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
    F
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me
C               Am G             C
I promise you, I promise you I will
Am                                                F
I gotta tell you, I gotta tell you, I need to tell you

C
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
  Am
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
    F
But if you'll wait around awhile, I'll make you fall for me
C               Am G
I promise you, I promise you

C
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
  Am
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
    F
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me
C              Am  G             Am
I promise you, I promise you I will
F       C
I will. I will
