Cause F5everyone knows you triedBb  
But Eb/Bbsomehow Bb7some-Eb/Bbthing BbdieEb/BbdBb  
On the C7way
So tell me why you stay

And most of the world would F7sayBb  
He's Eb/Bbbetter Bboff Eb/Bbthat BbwEb/BbayBb

And maybe so is F5sheF7sus  
A F5promise a boy says forF7susever
A F5boy says whatever may Dbmaj7come we'll come Csusthrough
And F5who can know how
When Bb2all I know now to be CsustrueC  
Is this Bbm7promise that I make to F5youF7sus  
A F5question, a boy wonders F7suswhether
The F5two stay together the wDbmaj7ay that they Csusstay
For F5year after year
From Bb2love or from fear, either wCsusayC  
That's the Bbm7promise that I made thF5at dFsusay

And Bbstill I will search for her F2nightlFyF2  
If Fyou Csussee her, please Csend her my F7love
And the bAmoy was a boy for all Fseasons
That Amboy is long lost to me nFow
And the mDman has forgotten his GsusreasonsG  
But the mBbm7an still remembers his C7susvow
A F5promise, a man says forF7susever
A F5man says I'll never regret Dbmaj7or let Csusyou
