TITLE: Promises
Lyrics and Chords


I don't care if you never come home
I don't mind if you just
Keep on rolling away on a distant sea
'Cause I don't love you and you don't love me

/ G - - - / C - - - / G - - - / D - - G /

You cause a commotion when you come to town
You give 'em a smile and they melt
Having lovers and friends is all good and fine
But I don't like yours and you don't like mine

La la, la la la la la
La la, la la la la la

/ C - G - D - - - / /

I don't care what you do at night
Oh, and I don't care how you get your delights
I'm gonna leave you alone, I'll just let it be
I don't love you and you don't love me

{Refrain}
I've got a problem, can you relate
I've got a woman calling love hate
We made a vow we'd always be friends
How could we know that promises end

/ C - - - G - - - / / / /

I tried to love you for years upon years...

{Refrain}

La la, la la la la la
La la, la la la la la

I tried to love you for years upon years
You refused to take me for real
It's time you saw what I want you to see
And I'd still love you if you just love me

{Refrain}

La la, la la la la la
{Repeat bunches}
