            Promise You Can't Keep


A              D                A
I heard you swear your love this morning
                            Em         A
And it caught me almost wanting to believe
                  D                      A
The three little words that serve as warning
                       Em               A
And say it's just a promise you can't keep


D                         A
A statement thats been so used
                           Em
I felt compelled to tell you
                               A
But knew there wasn't much to say


D                             A
I could have threatened leavin'
                         Bm
Or listed hopeless reasons
                                Em
If i didn't have the need to stay


A              D                           A
Three little words should have been my warning
                              Em               A
'Cause i know thats just a promise you can't keep
