Gordon Lightfoot - Thank You For The Promises
CAPO: 3rd Fret
         Am7G/A
[INTRO:]    
[VERSE 1:]
Am                            G
Thank you for the promises we make 
                  Dm                     Am
I know I can't complain, I think I did alright 
                   E                   F
No failures are in sight, only now and then 
                      E                     Am  D/F#  E
I'd like to reminisce, do you remember when
[VERSE 2:]
Am                             G
Even if we're angels, we can't ask 
                      Dm                      Am
To wander through the past, the future is our goal 
                      E                        F
The night is black as coal, if I could pay the price 
                          E                     Am
I'd like to love you once, I'd love to love you twice
[CHORUS:]
                       C
Thanks, we cannot say enough
                      D
The road is sometimes rough
                Am
But we can get along 
                   C                       D
The going will get tough, but we won't be afraid 
                   E   ECadd9E7
                       --
Of the promises we made
[VERSE 3:]
Am                             G
Thank you for the promises you keep 
                Dm                      Am
When I am fast asleep, to be where we belong 
                      E                    F
Is all that I can ask, we can do it in the shade 
                  E                           Am   G/A
As long as I have you and the promises we made
[VERSE 4:]
Am                            G
Thank you for the promises we break 
                    Dm                             Am
You made a clean mistake, well that's what love's about 
                     E                           F
No need to stand and shout, the truth is in your eyes 
                    E                       Am
The answer lies within, no need to criticize
[CHORUS:]
                            C
Thanks, for the promises at hand
                       D
The abuse that we must stand 
                Am
Is often heaven sent 
                     C                      D
They may not pay the rent, you never can be sure 
                  E   ECadd9E7
                      --
When promises get bent
[VERSE 5:]
Am                              G
Thank you for the promises that live 
                       Dm                  Am
That is all that I can give, forever in my mind 
                    E                       F
To leave the past behind and seal it with a kiss 
              E                          Am     G/A   Am
Forever in my soul, I will remember this
