C G Am G F
[Verse 1]
C G
Though I preach to the choir
Am G F
I'm so lonely, lonely, lonely
C G
Though I walk on the wire
Am G F
I'm just holy, holy, holy
C G Bb F G
Hangin' on to the promise of you
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
C G
Though I run through the fire
Am G F
I get colder, colder, colder
C G
I'm not green, I'm not retired
Am G F
I'm just older, older, older
C G Bb F G
And I'm just the fray around the promise of you
[Bridge]
Dm G
So many times I thought of hangin' it up
Dm G
So many shots but they were never enough
Dm G
And so many nights I thought of hangin' it up
Bb F C
Woooooo-hoooooooo hoo
G Am G F
[Verse 3]
C G
Every note that I write
Am G F
I get closer, closer, closer
C G
To the end of the night
Am G F
Then I'm over, over, over
C G Bb F
And I lay my head on the promise of you
