Promises

Soul Asylum

 EA
Street are filled with broken glass
 Am
you get buried by the past, give me just
 EB
a little taste, lay this mess to waste,
 E
Take me home.
 EA
My mind is racing take me home, my body's
 Am
aching so alone, I'll make you want to stay
 EBE
with me befriended by the enemy, one more time
CHORUS:
 EAbm
Every little thing about you tells me nothing out
 F#m
there is ever gonna help me all these words that
 BE
I hear spoken - just promises broken now
 GCsus2
Looking outside from the window sill throw another
 G
coin in the wishing well,  you'll never find what
 Csus2ADA
your looking for, 15 miles your dim light shines
 DBEB
from so far away, your sad smile, is all I see
 E
when I say
REPEAT CHORUS---
 EA
 From the hotel satellite don't look like you're livin'
 AmE
 right here's a deal you can't refuse, you ain't got as
 BEAbm
much to lose ----Can you tell your troubles to someone
 F#mBE
who won't laugh at you, It's alright.     And as I watch
 AbmF#mB
you walk away hope a part of you will stay, it's alright 
REPEAT CHORUS ONCE and you're through!
In the breaks between verses, the little hammer is
just A to B. On the A string: open then second fret
The little run before "Looking outside from the window.."
is just C-B-A-D
