You Promised

D Bm G A D Bm G she was crying out my name , standing in the driveway little bare feet wearing her cotton dress and i D Bm G i still see the rain chasing tears down her face it was back in october when i said its over and hid Bm A G behind the door , behind the shame of my conviction Bm A G bedside myself , beside some empty pill prescription can hear her screamig’ no D A no baby don’t , you making my heart hurt Bm dont say those words G A take it back , you know you don’t mean that D A you swore when i wore your ring it meant forever Bm A G i’ve got it on baby , how can you say i lost it oh , you promised D Bm G started crying while i was sleeping , waking up and reaching out to a bed as empty as the heart inside my chest D Bm G so i gathered up some pictures , i said i had somethin to give her i let her read a letter , i had a written her to give her on the day we tied the knot Bm A i saw the tears G i saw them fall as she read the part of my growing old Bm A G i heard her words , i heard her say it’ll never work and hit my knees and cried D A no baby don’t you’re making my heart hurt Bm dont say those words G take it back , you know you dont mean it D A you swore when you wore my ring it meant forever Bm A G youve got it on baby , how can you say you lost it Bm yeah and you promised Bm we were different people then A look at all the hateful things weve said G and im just as guilty , but girl you that’s no wat to be Bm take it easy baby im still broken A memories enough to tear me wide open G when you see me girl you curse my name makes me wanna say no D A no baby don’t you’re making my heart hurt Bm dont say those words G A take it back , you know you dont mean it D A you swore when you wore my ring we said forever Bm A G but you took it off baby , safet ot say we’re though Bm A G but no matter what you do you know i’ll always love you hell i have to cause i promised
