Randy Travis Promises Lyrics

Randy Travis - Promises
E = 022100 A = x02220
F# = 244322 B7 = x21202
Ab = 466544 C = x32010
Cheap perfume and painted faces,
Fallen angels fill the places
Where I go when my troubles pull me down.
All the lies I know they'll tell me,
And the time that they will sell me,
For a while I'll be the biggest man in town.
Back at home in bed she's crying,
For her love for me is dying,
But she'll pray I make it safely through the night.
When the mornin' sun starts showing,
To her bedside I'll be going,
And she'll hold me while I face the morning light.
And I'll make promises,
Promises to change.
I'll make her promises, swear I'll rearrange.
And I'll start giving all the love she needs,
If only she will stay.
Once again she'll reassure me,
And I believe her love will cure me,
And I'll fall asleep with tears on my face.
Lord I know she's just a woman,
And her love can't last forever,
And someday soon I know she'll leave without a trace.
For broken promises
Will tear her dreams apart,
Just token promises will someday break her heart.
And for the last time she'll hold me when I cry
And while I'm sleeping,
She'll quietly say:
Goodbye.
