Promises in Pieces Jason Eady
When the Money's all Gone
Standard Tuning - CAPO 2
Well I saw [G]Jesus in the corner, He was [C]talkin' to my [G]friend
They [G]both looked my [D]way, And turned [G]around
I [G]guess I should remember, All the [C]trouble that I've [G]been
It's just [G]promise and [D]pieces on the [G]ground
Well I was [G]drunk tired and busted, The [C]day he took me [G]in
And [G]offered me [D]protection from [G]myself,
I [G]guess I should have told him, [C]I'm no kind of [G]friend
Well I [G]guess he found [D]out the day I [G]left
Well I took the [D]money from the wallet
On the [C]table by the [G]door
I took the [D]pistol that he told me
He kept [C]locked inside the [G]drawer
I took off [Em]before the [D]sun came up[C]
And didn't see him any[G]more
Well I was [G]killin' time in Reno
Where the [C]snow fell on the [G]ground
Well I was [G]counting out what [D]little I had [G]left
I [G]asked the bartender to [C]pour another [G]round
I threw a [G]ten down on the table and I [D]saved it for m[G]yself
And I walked [D]across the street in day light
With that [C]pistol in my [G]jeans
I [D]walked up and told the teller
I don't [C]wanna cause a [G]scene
Just put the [Em]money in this [D]suitcase[C]
We can do this nice and [G]clean
Well I was [G]almost to the front door
When I [C]heard that siren [G]scream
We were [G]just around the [D]corner coming [G]fast
I [G]turned back to that teller, He was [C]lookin' right at [G]me
Well I [G]watched him fall as I [D]let that pistol [G]blaze
And I [D]ran back through the alley
And I [C]never turned [G]around
And I [D]heard all the voice as they [C]tried to track me [G]down
I threw the [Em]pistol in that [D]river, [C]I jumped the train leavin' [G]town
In a [G]hotel down by Carson Lake[C]
I was tryin' to lay [G]low
When I [G]heard some locals [D]talkin' down the [G]hall
It [G]seems they caught the man who [C]robbed that Wells Fa[G]rgo
Up in [G]Reno you don't [D]mess around with the [G]law
Well I [D]guess my friend came lookin' [C]like he done [G]before
They al[D]ready found his pistol
That had [C]washed up on the [G]shore
[Em]Yesterday they [D]hanged a man and [C]I couldn't run any[G]more
Break: Em - D - C - Em - D - C
Well I saw [G]Jesus in the corner he was [C]talkin' to my [G]friend
They [G]both looked my [D]way and turned [G]around
I [G]guess I should remember all the [C]trouble that I've [G]been
It's just [G]promises and [D]pieces on the [G]ground
It's just [G]promises and [D]pieces on the [G]ground
