G C G C

INTRO:

VERSE:

G D

There's a bible on the dresser,

and a sign hung on the door,

D C G

and a woman in my arms that shouldn't be.

G D

I'm to the point of no returning,

but I've been here before.

D C G

This cheating life is nothing new to me.

G D

There's someone to be considered,

I call her on the phone,

D C G

and say the job is taking longer than I planned

G D

I dont have the heart to tell her,

that a stranger turned me on,

D C G

and I'm heading for the broken promise land

Refrão

G C

Tonight I'm crossing over

D Em

and I'll reach the cheating side

G D Am

and I'll hate myself for coming here again.

G C

Where the streets are paved with misery

D Em

and lives are built on lies,

G D C

the place they call the broken promise land

VERSE:

G D

Found the note left on the dresser,

and the key left in the door,

D C G

and on the floor I found her golden wedding band.

G D

Guess she finally had to tell me,

she's not waiting here no more,

D C G

and she heading for the broken promise land.

Chorus:

G C

Tonight she's crossing over

D Em

and she'll reach the cheating side

G D Am

and I'll hate myself for giving her the chance.

G C

'Cause the streets are paved with misery

D Em

and lives are built on lies.

G D C

The place they call the broken promise land.

G C

...and its more than I can stand.
