I Promised You The World

	  		 






                       A                      D                  A       
                I had dreams that were bigger    than the Montana sky  
                            A                             D 
                And we were gonna do great in Great Falls 
                                         E    E/F#   E 
                I just knew we were this time  
                          D                  
                But when winter finally broke, so were we  
                                                A     D 
                You'll never know how bad that hurt  
                       A                        E 
                'Cause this ain't what I meant  
                        Esus            A 
                When I promised you the world  


                  A                         
                I lost the farm in Kansas  
              D                      A 
                Along with a lot of pride  

                         
                Then I almost lost my life  
              D                          E     Esus    E    
                Down in that West Virginia mine  
                         D               
                And that motel room in Memphis  
                                                  A       D 
                Was a long way from diamonds and pearls  
                          A                              
                And that sure ain't what I meant  
             E           Esus           A           A7 
                When I promised you the world  



                  Bm 
                I swear your love is stronger  
                          D                                A 
                Than any dream of mine I've ever drug you through  
                      Bm 
                And I swear I wasn't lyin'  
             D                           E   E/F#   E 
                They just never did come true  
                              A          
                You've always bet on this old gambler  
             D                                A         D 
                Every time I gave the wheel a whirl  
                    A          
                But this ain't what I meant  


             E          Esus            A 
                When I promised you the world  

                REPEAT INTRO THEN GO TO 3RD VERSE 



                Now this Shreveport sun is settin'  

                On another broken dream of mine  
                 
                And I guess that mansion on the hill  
                 
                Is pretty hard to see tonight  
                 
                But as long as there's a breath of life in me  
                 
                I'm gonna get it for you, girl  
                 
                'Cause this ain't what I meant  
                 
                When I promised you the world  

                 
                I swear your love is stronger  
                 
                Than any dream of mine I've ever drug you through  
                 
                And I swear I wasn't lyin'  
                 
                They just never did come true  
                 
                You've always bet on this old gambler  
                 
                Every time I gave the wheel a whirl  
                 
                But this ain't what I meant  
                 
                When I promised you the world  

                 
                No, this sure ain't what I meant  
                 
                When I promised you the world
