G F C G


[Chorus 1]
    G              F               C G
I wanna make promises that I can’t keep
    G              F               C G
I wanna make promises that I can’t keep


[Verse 1]
        G      F
Let’s argue in Ikea
         C                 G
Make a scene, go home and fuck
    G           F
On unassembled furniture
       G              G
Fresh off the moving truck
        G                F
Let’s rifle through old photographs
   C                 G
After the basement floods
G                    F
Black and whites & polaroids
     C                G
On clothes lines up above


[Chorus 2]
    G              F               C G
I wanna make promises that I can’t keep
    G              F               C G
I wanna make promises that I can’t keep

[Verse 2]
        G               F
We’ll sign up for wine of the month
         C                   G
Play drinking games for old folks
G                 F
Sick the cat on kitchen mice
         C                G
Feign laughs at your old jokes
G                  F
In the Eastern townships
            C               G
With your old man on the porch steps
G                  F
Knowing that we slowly die
       C              G
With each and every breath


[Chorus 3]
    G              F               C G
I wanna make promises that I can’t keep
    G              F               C G
I wanna make promises that I can’t keep
    G              F               C G
I wanna make promises that I can’t keep
    G              F               C G
I wanna make promises that I can’t keep
