             Promise You Can't Keep
 
 
 A              D                A
 I heard you swear your love this morning
                             Em         A
 And it caught me almost wanting to believe
                   D                      A
 The three little words that serve as warning
                        Em               A
 And say it's just a promise you can't keep
 
 
 D                         A
 A statement thats been so used
                            Em
 I felt compelled to tell you
                                A
 But knew there wasn't much to say
 
 
 D                             A
 I could have threatened leavin'
                          Bm
 Or listed hopeless reasons
                                 Em
 If i didn't have the need to stay
 
 
 A              D                           A
 Three little words should have been my warning
                               Em               A
 'Cause i know thats just a promise you can't keep
