EPromise me no E7promises
So Awill I not Ampromise you
EKeep we both our E7liberties
 ANever false and Amnever true
G#Let us hold the die uncast
C#mFree to come as Afree to go
For EI cannot knBow your past
       E                   B     E[E7, A, Am]
 And of mine what can you know?
EYou, so warm, may E7once have been
AWarmer towards anAmother one
EI, so cold, may E7once have seen
ASunlight, once have Amfelt the sun
G#Who shall show us if it was
C#mThus indeed in Atime of old?
EFades the image Bfrom the glass
        E               B     E[E7, A, Am]
And the fortune is not told
G#If you promised, you C#mmight grieve
For Blost liberty Eagain
G#If I promised, C#mI believe
I should fBret to break the Echain
G#Let us be the friends we were
C#mNothing more but Anothing less
EMany thrive on Bfrugal Efare
         E           B       E[E7, A, Am]
Who would perish of excess
EPromise me no pAromises
EPromise me no E7promises
So Awill I not Ampromise you
