PROMISES
(Savage Garden)


                       Dm                  G
well don't you know i need a little indulgence
               Dm               G
listen to the hunter becoming hunted
      Dm                         G
every day there's a million advances
                Dm                        G
don't be too forceful you'll ruin your chances
                        Em            D
well don't you know that time is a broken glass
C                           Bm
that splinters against the wall
         A
but the picture is coming back now baby
Em7/B
and i want to take it all

Chorus:
           C                G/B         Am               G
don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
           Dm                                      G
there's a time to play a king and a time to be a thief
                 C                G/B        Am              G
cause if your making all these promises you know you cannot keep
          Dm                                               G       C
you know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone

                  Dm                 G
so let your body move a little bit closer
                  Dm                   G
silent like the sound proceeding a cyclone
           Dm                    G
don't you know that powerful thinking
       Dm                        G
is a force you don't want to relinquish
well don't you know that
Em              D               C          Bm
they say that hanging on will justify the wait
     A                          Em7/B
but patience and elated wisdom don't share a common phrase

(Chorus)

F                             G
well i'm only hanging on for what goes down baby
F                          G
i'm floating high and my feet don't touch the ground
F                          G
i'd take advantage but i can't see through this charade
Em             G           Am       G          Dm
so don't you don't you go make it harder than hell
don't go making promises don't go making promises
          Em                G
when it comes down to the making
               Am                  G           Dm
you better be damned sure you can take it hey baby
                                               G   C  G/B  Am  G  Dm
don't go making promises don't go making promises

                  Em              G            Am              G
cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
           Dm                                      G
there's a time to play a king and a time to be a theif
                Em                 G         Am              G
cause if your making all these promises you know you cannot keep
          Dm                                                G
you know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up

   Em      G       Am          G
a fool a fool a lonely sorry fool
    Dm
oh baby cause i told you baby
