A Promise to Keep
Brandi Carlile
Downpour 7" Vinyl Single
I didn't include the fills, the intro and the outro, 'cause they're easy to figure
out. Just look at the tab I below. I haven't heard the actual track, just listened
to the song on YouTube, so it might differ from the original version.

G D G D C G
I still talk to you in my sleep
G C G C Am D
I don't say much cause the hurt runs too deep
C G Am G
I gave you the moon and the stars to keep
G C G C Em C
but you gave them back to me
G Am G D x 4 C
The hill I'm walkin up is gettin good and steep
G Am G D x 4
but I'm still looking for a promise even I can't keep
G D G D C G
I still lay on my side of the bed
G C G C Am D
I dance alone when the last bottle's spent
C G Am G
Memories like a river runnin through my head
G C G C Em C
I'll have me an ocean before I'm dead
G Am G D x 4
The hill I'm walkin up is gettin good and steep
C G Am G D x 4
but I'm still looking for a promise even I can't keep
G D G D C G
I still whisper sweet words to you
G C G C Am D
and when I'm busy, or have nothing to do
C G Am G
I pray to god, that my words ring true
G C G C Em C
and that your words might reach me too
G Am G D x 4
The hill I'm walkin up is gettin good and steep
C G Am G D x 2
but I'm still looking for a promise even I can't keep
Dsus4 x 2
I can't keep it
G D G D C G
My hearts in pieces so please understand
G C G G Am D
I've tried to jump, but I've nowhere to land
C G Am G
So give me your heart and I'll give you my hand
G C G C Em C
And I'll try as goddamn hard as I can
G Am G D x 4
The hill I'm walkin up is gettin good and steep
C G Am G D x 4
but I'm still looking for a promise even I can't keep
