G               C           G 
I'm trying to believe in forever
                C            G                D
I'm trying to believe in the little jewel box life we lead
G              C
Babe, I get so close sometimes
G                C
But all I really know is
  G                                   D           G    C  
I believe that we've been making hard promises to keep
G                 C          G
You want me to believe in forever
G                         C
Do you know how tight I'm holding
        G                    D
Just to keep my grip on yesterday
G                  C              G                 C
I'm trying hard to see the pretty pictures that you paint for me
       G                                  D           G 
Do you know how tight I'm holding to hard promises to keep
C                        G
Promises are like little diamonds
C                        G
Promises are like little hearts
            D
We meant to give away
G                              C
I thought you'd want them back someday
G                      C
I've kept them for you anyway
      G                              D           G
But I know when I've been given hard promises to keep

SOLO

C                        G
Promises are like little diamonds
C                        G
Promises are like little hearts
            D
We meant to give away
G                              C
I thought you'd want them back someday
G                      C
I've kept them for you anyway
      G                              D           G
But I know when I've been given hard promises to keep
                                     D           G
And I know that I've been given hard promises to keep
