Intro: D Bm G A

D                        Bm                        G
She was crying out my name, Standing in the driveway

Little bare feet wearing her cotton dress and I
D                Bm                G
I still see the rain chasing tears down her face

It was back in October when I said itʼs over and hid
Bm       A              G
Behind the door, behind the shame of my conviction
Bm        A                G
Bedside myself ,beside some empty pill prescription
Can hear her screamigʼ no

D       A
No baby donʼt, you making my heart hurt
Bm
Donʼt say those words
G               A
Take it back, you know you donʼt mean that
D                          A
You swore when I wore your ring

It meant forever
Bm            A                   G
Iʼve got it on baby, how can you say I lost it
Oh, you promised

D                               Bm              G
Started crying while I was sleeping, waking up and reaching out

To a bed as empty as the heart inside my chest
D                            Bm                      G
So I gathered up some pictures, i said i had somethin to give her

I let her read a letter, i had a written her to give
her on the day we tied the knot
Bm          A
I saw the tears
         G
I saw them fall as she read the part of my growing old
Bm            A         G
I heard her words, i heard her say itʼll never work

And hit my knees and cried

D      A
No baby donʼt youʼre making my heart hurt
Bm
Donʼt say those words
G
Take it back, you know you dont mean it
D                           A
You swore when you wore my ring

It meant forever
  Bm              A                     G
Youʼve got it on baby, How can you say you lost it
            Bm
Yeah and you promised

Bm
We were different people then
A
Look at all the hateful things weʼve said
G
And Iʼm just as guilty,but girl you thatʼs no wat to be
Bm
Take it easy baby Iʼm still broken
A
Memories enough to tear me wide open
G
When you see me girl you curse my name
Makes me wanna say no

D      A
No baby donʼt youʼre making my heart hurt
Bm
Donʼt say those words
G               A
Take it back, you know you dont mean it
D                           A
You swore when you wore my ring
We said forever
Bm              A                      G
But You took it off baby, safet ot say weʼre though
Bm                      A                  G
But no matter what you Do you know iʼll always love you
Hell I have to
Cause I Promised
