Sturgill Simpson The Promise Lyrics

Chords are all straightforward:
Intro: A (hammer sus4) x2
A (hammer sus4)
If you need a friend
M
Don't look to a stranger
D (hammer sus4)
You know in the end,
I'll always be there
But when you're in doubt
And when you're in danger
Take a look all around, and I'll be there
Chorus:
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
I promise, I promise you I will
When your day is through
And so is your temper
You know what to do
I'm gonna always be there
Sometimes if I shout
It's not what's intended
These words just come out
With no gripe to bear
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
I promise, I promise you I will
Bridge: A F#m D A F#m D E
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me
I promise you, I promise you I will
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
I promise, I promise you
Finish on A
