Matt Mays - Dark Promises
Album: One Upon a Hell of a Time (2017)
You may want to play your A chord using only your index finger, then use your pinky to play the G# on the 4th
fret of the low E-sting when walking down to F#m
[Intro]
 F#m   Ax4
[Verse 1]
DI met her in the sprinAg
DWhen the earth began to Abreathe again
DShe snuck in with the dAawn
DAnd just like summer she was gone
[Verse 2]
F#mLonely is just a Aword
F#mAnd it don't mean shit to Ame
F#mCause I'm a hummingbird in Ahawk wings
DDesigned to be free
[Chorus]
And F#mall your dark promises are AgoneA/G#  
And the F#mtears that fall down my face
ASoon will turn to A/G#stone now
And F#mall your dark promises are AgoneA/G#  
           D(hold)
Cause I'm sick of throwing stones up at your window
[Verse 3]
Broken hearts beat Aharder
On Dhighways built along the Awater
DHow many times do I gotta Atell you
It's all in your Dmind
[Verse 4]
F#mNothing is what Ait seems
We're just F#mdust in the arclight Abeams
F#mShining off the back of my Aeyelids
                 D(hold)
While I lay here
While I lay here trying to dream
[Chorus]
And F#mall your dark promises are AgoneA/G#  
And the F#mtears that fall down my face
ASoon will turn to A/G#stone now
And F#mall your dark promises are AgoneA/G#  
Cause I'm Dsick of throwing stones up at your window
[Solo]
 F#m   A   A/G#x2
[Bridge]
For the F#mlove
For the Alove
For the F#mlove
For the AloveA/G#  
For the Dlove
For the love
[Chorus]
And F#mall your dark promises are AgoneA/G#  
And the F#mtears that fall down my face
ASoon will turn to A/G#stone now
And F#mall your dark promises are AgoneA/G#  
Yeah F#mall your dark promises are AgoneA/G#  
Are F#mgone
Are AgoA/G#ne
[Outro]
F#m A A/G#

[Intro]

F#m A

[Verse 1]

D A

I met her in the spring

D A

When the earth began to breathe again

D A

She snuck in with the dawn

And just like summer she was gone

[Verse 2]

Lonely is just a word

F#m A

And it don't mean shit to me

F#m A

Cause I'm a hummingbird in hawk wings

Designed to be free

[Chorus]

F#m A A/G#

And all your dark promises are gone

F#m

And the tears that fall down my face

A A/G#

Soon will turn to stone now

F#m A A/G#

And all your dark promises are gone

(hold)

Cause I'm sick of throwing stones up at your window

[Verse 3]

Broken hearts beat harder

D A

On highways built along the water

D A

How many times do I gotta tell you

It's all in your mind

[Verse 4]

F#m A

Nothing is what it seems

F#m A

We're just dust in the arclight beams

F#m A

Shining off the back of my eyelids

(hold)

While I lay here

While I lay here trying to dream

[Chorus]

F#m A A/G#

And all your dark promises are gone

F#m

And the tears that fall down my face
