 G               C           G 
 I'm trying to believe in forever
                 C            G                D
 I'm trying to believe in the little jewel box life we lead
 G              C
 Babe, I get so close sometimes
 G                C
 But all I really know is
   G                                   D           G    C  
 I believe that we've been making hard promises to keep
 G                 C          G
 You want me to believe in forever
 G                         C
 Do you know how tight I'm holding
         G                    D
 Just to keep my grip on yesterday
 G                  C              G                 C
 I'm trying hard to see the pretty pictures that you paint for me
        G                                  D           G 
 Do you know how tight I'm holding to hard promises to keep
 C                        G
 Promises are like little diamonds
 C                        G
 Promises are like little hearts
             D
 We meant to give away
 G                              C
 I thought you'd want them back someday
 G                      C
 I've kept them for you anyway
       G                              D           G
 But I know when I've been given hard promises to keep

 C                        G
 Promises are like little diamonds
 C                        G
 Promises are like little hearts
             D
 We meant to give away
 G                              C
 I thought you'd want them back someday
 G                      C
 I've kept them for you anyway
       G                              D           G
 But I know when I've been given hard promises to keep
                                      D           G
 And I know that I've been given hard promises to keep
