Dont Make Promises

[Verse 1]
   E                                 E
It seems the songs we're singing are all about tomorrow,
E                             E
  tunes of promises you can't keep.
E                       E
  Every moment bringing   a love I can only borrow,
E                                E
  you're telling me lies in your sleep.

[Chorus]
A                            A
  Do you think I'm not aware   of what you're saying,
E                            E
  or why you're saying it?
A                             A
  Is it hard to keep me where   you want me staying?
E               E
  Don't go on betraying it,
E                               E           E
  don't make promises you can't keep.

[Verse 2]
E                             E
  We had a chance to find it:   our time was now or never,
E                               E
  you promised me things that I need.
E                                     E
  But then the things behind it took away the chance forever:
       E                       E
you're telling me lies in your sleep.

[End-Chorus]
A                            A
  Do you think I'm not aware   of what you're saying,
E                            E
  or why you're saying it?
A                             A
  Is it hard to keep me where   you want me staying?
E               E
  Don't go on betraying it,
E                               E           E
  don't make promises you can't keep.
E                               E           E
  Don't make promises you can't keep.
