A Promise to Keep Brandi Carlile
(Verse 1)
[G]I [D]still [G]talk [D]to [C]you in my [G]sleep
I [G]don't [C]say [G]much [C]cause the [Am]hurt runs too [D]deep
I [C]gave you the [G]moon and the [Am]stars to [G]keep
[G]but [C]you [G]gave [C]them [Em]back to me[C]
G Am G D x 4 C
The hill I'm walkin up is gettin good and steep
G Am G D x 4
but I'm still looking for a promise even I can't keep
(Verse 2)
[G]I [D]still [G]lay [D]on my [C]side of the [G]bed
I [G]dance [C]alo[G]ne [C]when the [Am]last bottle's [D]spent
[C]Memories like a [G]river runnin [Am]through my [G]head
I'll [G]have [C]me an [G]oce[C]an [Em]before I'm dead[C]
G Am G D x 4
The hill I'm walkin up is gettin good and steep
C G Am G D x 4
but I'm still looking for a promise even I can't keep
(Verse 3)
[G]I [D]still [G]whis[D]per [C]sweet words to [G]you
and [G]when [C]I'm [G]bu[C]sy, or have [Am]nothing to [D]do
I [C]pray to [G]god, that my [Am]words ring [G]true
and [G]that [C]your [G]words [C]might [Em]reach me too[C]
G Am G D x 4
The hill I'm walkin up is gettin good and steep
C G Am G D x 2
but I'm still looking for a promise even I can't keep
Dsus4 x 2
I can't keep it
(Verse 4)
My [G]hearts [D]in [G]pie[D]ces so [C]please under[G]stand
I've [G]tried [C]to [G]jump, [G]but I've [Am]nowhere to [D]land
So [C]give me your [G]heart and I'll [Am]give you my [G]hand
And I'll [G]try[C] as[G] go[C]ddamn [Em]hard as I can[C]
G Am G D x 4
The hill I'm walkin up is gettin good and steep
C G Am G D x 4
but I'm still looking for a promise even I can't keep
