The Promise

Intro 

C G Am 



Am          D             F 
Those tears on a gaping voice 
Am                    D                 F 
Who's stretching arms match the hunger of mine 
Am          D               F 
These lips will they never join 
Am                    D                  F 
But always draw me closer and further entwined 



Am                         G              F 
With a promise dealer, understand all freedoms fade away 
Am                        G                F 
To a point of view where many different pathways meet 
Am                             G             F 
And we're standing on this precipice with nothing much to save 
Am                              G                 F 
But the deep blue screams of falling dreams with our next move 


C       G         Am 
Heaven hide your eyes 
(hide your eyes) 
C         G         Am 
Heaven's eyes will never dry 
(will never dry) 

Solo 
Am G F 



Am          D              F 
The shades of a thousand steel 
Am                    D           F 
Come flashing by my face in the fury of war 
Am             D               F 
In desolation and abandoned fields 
Am                      D                              F 
The hungry make their stand when they'll stand for no more 



Am                          G               F 
Hear the passion in their voices, see the heaven in their eyes 
(Heaven in their eyes) 
Am                             G                          F 
Their hopes and schemes are waiting dreams of less than paradise 
(Less than paradise) 
Am                       G               F 
And sometimes we make promises we never mean to keep 
(Never mean to keep) 
Am                     G           F 
And blackmail is the only deal a promise dealer sees 

 
C             G               Am 
Heaven hide your eyes 
(hide your eyes) 
C                G             Am 
Heaven's eyes will never dry 
(will never dry)
