Intro:

Verse
Em  
You better belive I'm coming
   Bm
You better believe what I say
   D                       D4 D D9 D
You better hold on to your promises
        C
Because you bet, you'll get what you deserve
Em
She's going to leave him over
      Bm
She's gonna take her love away
    D                  D4 D D9 D
So much for your eternal vows, well
   C
It does not matter anyway

Bridge
Em                      Bm
Why can't you stay here awhile
          D D4 D D9 D    C
Stay here awhile    Stay with me

Chorus
Em          Bm
Oh, all the promises we made
        D               D4 D D9 D
All the meaningless and empty words
  C
I prayed, prayed, prayed
Em          Bm
Oh, all the promises we broke
        D               D4 D D9 D
All the meaningless and empty words
  C
I spoke, spoke, spoke

Em        Bm        D         C
Do-do-do, do-do-do, Do-do-do, do-do-do

Verse
Em
What of all the things that you taught me
Bm
What of all the things that you'd say
D                          D4 D 
What of all your prophetic preaching
D9  D    C
You're just throwing it all away
Em
Maybe we should burn the house down
Bm
Have ourselves another fight
D                 D4 D D9 D
Leave the cobwebs in the closet
     C
'cos tearing them out is just not right


Bridge
Em                      Bm
Why can't you stay here awhile
          D D4 D D9 D    C
Stay here awhile    Stay with me oh eh

Chorus
Em          Bm
Oh, all the promises we made
        D               D4 D D9 D
All the meaningless and empty words
  C
I prayed, prayed, prayed
Em          Bm
Oh, all the promises we broke
        D               D4 D D9 D
All the meaningless and empty words
  C
I spoke, spoke, spoke

Em
Oh eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh
Bm
Oh eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh
D
Oh eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh, oh eh
