Verse
E5  
You better belive I'm coming
   B5
You better believe what I say
   D5                       D5 D5 D5 D5
You better hold on to your promises
        C5
Because you bet, you'll get what you deserve
E5
She's going to leave him over
      B5
She's gonna take her love away
    D5                  D5 D5 D5 D5
So much for your eternal vows, well
   C5
It does not matter anyway

Bridge
E5                      B5
Why can't you stay here awhile
          D5 D5 D5 D5 D5    C5
Stay here awhile    Stay with me

Chorus
E5          B5
Oh, all the promises we made
        D5               D5 D5 D5 D5
All the meaningless and empty words
  C5
I prayed, prayed, prayed
E5          B5
Oh, all the promises we broke
        D5               D5 D5 D5 D5
All the meaningless and empty words
  C5
I spoke, spoke, spoke

E5        B5        D5         C5
Do-do-do, do-do-do, Do-do-do, do-do-do

Verse
E5
What of all the things that you taught me
B5
What of all the things that you'd say
D5                          D5 D5 
What of all your prophetic preaching
D5  D5    C5
You're just throwing it all away
E5
Maybe we should burn the house down
B5
Have ourselves another fight
D5                 D5 D5 D5 D5
Leave the cobwebs in the closet
     C5
'cos tearing them out is just not right


Bridge
E5                      B5
Why can't you stay here awhile
          D5 D5 D5 D5 D5    C5
Stay here awhile    Stay with me oh eh

Chorus
E5          B5
Oh, all the promises we made
        D5               D5 D5 D5 D5
All the meaningless and empty words
  C5
I prayed, prayed, prayed
E5          B5
Oh, all the promises we broke
        D5               D5 D5 D5 D5
All the meaningless and empty words
  C5
I spoke, spoke, spoke
