G5               C5           G5  
I'm trying to believe in forever 
                C5            G5                D5 
I'm trying to believe in the little jewel box life we lead 
G5              C5 
Babe, I get so close sometimes 
G5                C5 
But all I really know is 
  G5                                   D5           G5    C5   
I believe that we've been making hard promises to keep 
G5                 C5          G5 
You want me to believe in forever 
G5                         C5 
Do you know how tight I'm holding 
        G5                    D5 
Just to keep my grip on yesterday 
G5                  C5              G5                 C5 
I'm trying hard to see the pretty pictures that you paint for me 
       G5                                  D5           G5  
Do you know how tight I'm holding to hard promises to keep 
C5                        G5 
Promises are like little diamonds 
C5                        G5 
Promises are like little hearts 
            D5 
We meant to give away 
G5                              C5 
I thought you'd want them back someday 
G5                      C5 
I've kept them for you anyway 
      G5                              D5           G5 
But I know when I've been given hard promises to keep 
 
SOLO 
 

C5                        G5 
Promises are like little diamonds 
C5                        G5 
Promises are like little hearts 
            D5 
We meant to give away

G5                      C5 
I've kept them for you anyway 
      G5                              D5           G5 
But I know when I've been given hard promises to keep 
                                     D5           G5 
And I know that I've been given hard promises to keep
