[Verse 1]
            Amaj7
Don't wanna open your heart
        A
You're afraid from the start
       D
That a new love's gonna let you down
          Amaj7
There was something you should know
           A
Before you give up and go
        D                      Bm7
I don't believe in run around
               C#m7
I just wanna define myself
    B7             
And show you how I feel

[Chorus]
                    Dmaj7                 E
If a promise ain't enough (Promise ain't enough)
                       A                             F#m
Then a touch says everything (Touch says everything, everything)
                      Bm7                  E
Got to hold you in my arms (Hold you in my arms)
                     A
Till you feel what I mean (There's so much more, than promises)
             D                           E
Know that my heart just tells me what to say
              F#m           B7
But words can only prove so much
                    Bm7                   E
If a promise ain't enough (Promise ain't enough)
             A
Hold onto my love

[Verse 2]
          Amaj7
Though my words can't describe
        A
How I'm feeling all inside
        D
Does my touch says anything to you
        Amaj7
I'm not afraid to take time
           A
Cause I'll know you'll find
         D                         Bm7
That I'm real and my touch is true
                         C#m7
It's taken a lifetime to find my heart
      B7          
And I give it all you

[Chorus]
                    Dmaj7                 E
If a promise ain't enough (Promise ain't enough)
                       A                             F#m
Then a touch says everything (Touch says everything, everything)
                      Bm7                  E
Got to hold you in my arms (Hold you in my arms)
                     A
Till you feel what I mean (There's so much more, than promises)
             D                          E
Know that my heart just tells me what to say
                   F#m      B7
But words can only prove so much
                    Bm7                   E
If a promise ain't enough (Promise ain't enough)
             A
Hold onto my love

Bm7                   C#m7        A
It took a lifetime to find what I want
        B7              
I won't let it get away

[Chorus]
                    Dmaj7                 E
If a promise ain't enough (Promise ain't enough)
                       A                             F#m
Then a touch says everything (Touch says everything, everything)
                      Bm7                  E
Got to hold you in my arms (Hold you in my arms)
                     A                                Amaj7
Till you feel what I mean (There's so much more, than promises)
             D                           E
Know that my heart just tells me what to say
                   F#m      B7
But words can only prove so much
                    Bm7                   E
If a promise ain't enough (Promise ain't enough)
             A
Hold onto my love

[Outro]
F#m                    Bm7     E
    If a promise ain't enough
        N.C.
Hold on
A  C#m  F#m
                    Bm7                           E
If a promise ain't enough (Promises promises promises)
             A
Hold onto my love

A        C#m     F#m
Hold on, ho-o-ld on
Bm7                    E
Promises promises promises
