One of my favorite songs from this awesome band!

Intro: F G Am C x2

Verse 1:
    Am              F
I dream a day that god will surface
     Am                    F 
To retrieve his nails and open your heart.
       Am               F
You'll say you're mine for the ages
    Am    F
Just open your heart 


Chorus:
     F
and say
     G           Am
"I swear on the cross"
            C
Can you promise this 
        F
to the grave 
       G        Am 
you'll take my name 
         C
can you promise me?

F


Verse 2:
Am            F           
Overseas and over mountains
   Am              F
A thousand years I've waited for her
   Am              F
To say the lines "from this day forward"
     Am    F
Just open your heart 


Chorus:
     F
and say
     G           Am
"I swear on the cross"
            C
Can you promise this 
        F
to the grave 
       G        Am 
you'll take my name 
         C
can you promise me?

F

Bridge:
F G Am C

F                 G                Am          C
All this time I've prayed for this day to come true,
       F                 G                Am    C
'Cause no one knows how deep the waves we waded through.
F              G                  Am      C
I wish I could take your hand and make it true.
       F                G             Am              C
'Cause no one knows how far apart we  stayed to get through.

F              G                  Am      C
I wish I could take your hand and make it true.
       F                G            Am             C
'Cause no one knows how far apart we stay to get through.

Chorus:
        F
Can you say
     G           Am
"I swear on the cross"
            C
Can you promise this 
        F
to the grave 
       G        Am 
you'll take my name 
         C
can you promise me?
