E5             E5
Promise me no promises
  A5           A5
So will I not promise you
E5                E5
Keep we both our liberties
A5                A5
 Never false and never true

G#5
Let us hold the die uncast
C#5             A5
Free to come as free to go
    E5          B5
For I cannot know your past
E5       B5                 E5   [ E5 , A5 , A5 ]
 And of mine what can you know?


E5                 E5
You, so warm , may once have been
A5                A5
Warmer towards another one
E5               E5
I, so cold, may once have seen
A5                   A5
Sunlight, once have felt the sun

G#5
Who shall show us if it was
C#5            A5
Thus indeed in time of old?
E5               B5
Fades the image from the glass
E5        B5             E5   [ E5 , A5 , A5 ]
And the fortune is not told


G#5                   C#5
If you promised, you might grieve
    B5            E5
For lost liberty again
G#5             C#5
If I promised, I believe
          B5                E5
I should fret to break the chain

G#5
Let us be the friends we were
C#5              A5
Nothing more but nothing less
E5              B5      E5 
Many thrive on frugal fare
E5         B5         E5     [ E5 , A5 , A5 ]
Who would perish of excess


E5              A5
Promise me no promises

E5             E5
Promise me no promises
  A5           A5

E5 , E5 , A5 , A5
          Promises like pie-crust
E5 , E5 , A5 , A5
          Promises like pie-crust
E5 , E5 , A5 , Am... E5
