Promise

Here we are now in the backyard On the warm ground out at sundown
E                                                                                       But in twelve days I'll be halfway
ECross the world, I'm too tired to be afraid
                                                Aadd4

You've got green eyes, I had foresight
EWhen I said we'd be good I was so right
                                                Aadd4
If we lay here, spend every day here
F#m                     Aadd4           Well our legs might take root and we'll grow dear
E                                                   Aadd4

I made a promise to
EI made a promise to 
EI made a promise to you
F#m               C#m     A

(Break)
E       Aadd4

I'd protect you if I had to
E                               So the bad parts never get through
                                        Aadd4
From the outside into your life
EWe can try but we might have some hard nights
                                                        Aadd4
Now we can't speak 'neath the pine trees
EAnd I swear that there's air but I can't breathe
                                                   Aadd4
I need your heat, I've got cold feet
F#m                     Aadd4           It's the thought that still makes this so easy
E                                               Aadd4

I made a promise to
EI made a promise to 
EI made a promise to you
F#m               C#m     AThat we'd still feel brand new
EThat we'd still feel brand new
EThat we'd still feel something
F#m               C#m     A

(Break)
E   Aadd4   Bsus4   C#m7
Bsus4    E (x4)

She's not too fond of history
C#m7            Bsus4          EHearing loud of abrasive speech
C#m7           Bsus4           Aadd4She's unique in the way she eats 
C#m7           Bsus4            Aadd4oh yeah she loves me
C#m7         Bsus4             EWhy she does hell I cannot say
C#m7            Bsus4          EI can't seem to stay in one place
C#m7           Bsus4           Aadd4Always gone and I'm far away
C#m7          Bsus4           Aadd4 from the smile on her face
C#m7           Bsus4          E

(Repeats throughout last section)
E   Aadd4   Bsus4   C#m7
Bsus4    E (x6)

Was it something that I couldn't say?
Fast enough to get away
And though I tried to make a clean escape
You left me with an even break

And i think I saw myself in you
But I think you saw a proper fool
And I know we broke every rule
With everything we didn't do

I'll remember every day
If you remember every dumb mistake
That you made cause you were late
But its my fault I made you wait

In this city I cant speak
Well you know this place is killing me
And it's harder to believe
But it's hard enough to watch you leave
