Promises In the Dark

F                                Bb
Never again, Isn't that what you said?
            F
You've been through this before
                                          Bb
This time you swore you'd think with your head
Bb                          Dm
No one, would ever have you again
            Bb
And if takin' was gonna get done
                       C
You'd decide where and when
              Dm  C     Bb
Just when you think you got it down
           F                     Bb
Your heart securely tied and bound
          BbAG         A  C   Dm   (Riff Dm 
A G F Bb G Bb)
They whisper, promises in the dark

F
Armed and ready you fought love battles in the night
     F                                          Bb
But too many opponents made you weary of the fight
Bb                                            Dm
Blinded by passion, you foolishly let someone in
             Bb
All the warnings went off in your head
                      C
Still you had to give in

                 Dm  C    Bb
Just when you think you got it down
           F               Bb
Resistance no where to be found

A G F  Bb G Bb)
They whisper, promises in the dark
     Bb        C             G
But promises, you know what there for
              F                           G
It sounds so convincing, but you heard it before
      Bb       C                     Dm
Cause talk is cheap and you gotta be sure
           Dm Dm Dm Dm
And so you put up your guard

        C                       Bb          C        Dm
And you try to be hard but your heart says try again

     F                                          Bb
You desperately search for a way to conquer the fear
                                                                                       
                                                  Bb
No line of attack has been planned to fight back the tears
      Bb                                     Dm
Where brave and restless dreams are both won and lost
       Bb                                     C
On the edge is where it seems it's well worth the cost
               Dm  C    Bb
Just when you think you got it down
              F                   Bb
Your heart in pieces on the ground

They whisper, promises in the dark
