PROMISES DON’T COME EASY  -  Caron Nightingale

Then I woke up one day and found you Fon your way
Leaving nDmothing but my Gheart behCind
CHORUS
WChat can I do to make it Fup to you, Dmpromises dGon’t come Ceasy
But tell me if there’s a way to bring you bFack home to stay
Well I’d pDmromise anything Gto yoCu
2.  I’ve been wCalking around with my head hanging down
FWondering what GI'm gonna Cdo
‘cause when you walked out that door I knew I Fneeded you more
Than to tDmake a chance on lGosing yCou
 CHORUS 2       
What cCan I do to make it up to yFou, pDmromises Gdon’t come eCasy
You know I’ve made up my mind to make it wFork this time
That’s the Dmpromise that I gGive to yCou

I was jFust too proGud to sEmay it out Amloud
Now I kDmnow, to leGt my feelings Fgo, so tell me - (CHORUS)

I just never read between the lines

Then I woke up one day and found you on your way

Dm G C

Leaving nothing but my heart behind

CHORUS

C F Dm G C

What can I do to make it up to you, promises don’t come easy

But tell me if there’s a way to bring you back home to stay

Dm G C

Well I’d promise anything to you

2. I’ve been walking around with my head hanging down

F G C

Wondering what I'm gonna do

‘cause when you walked out that door I knew I needed you more

Dm G C

Than to take a chance on losing you

CHORUS 2

C F Dm G C

What can I do to make it up to you, promises don’t come easy

You know I’ve made up my mind to make it work this time

That’s the promise that I give to you

F G C F G Am

You never thought I loved you, I guess you never thought I cared
