Thank You for the Promises Gordon Lightfoot
CAPO: 3rd Fret
[INTRO:] Am7 G/A
[VERSE 1:]
[Am]Thank you for the promises we [G]make
I know I can't com[Dm]plain, I think I did al[Am]right
No failures are in [E]sight, only now and [F]then
I'd like to reminisce,[E] do you remember when[Am] [D/F#] [E]
[VERSE 2:]
[Am]Even if we're angels, we can't [G]ask
To wander through the [Dm]past, the future is our [Am]goal
The night is black as [E]coal, if I could pay the [F]price
I'd like to love you once,[E] I'd love to love you [Am]twice
[CBORUS:]
Thanks, we cannot say e[C]nough
The road is sometimes [D]rough
But we can get a[Am]long
The going will get [C]tough, but we won't be a[D]fraid
Of the promises we [E]made[E-Cadd9-E7]
[VERSE 3:]
[Am]Thank you for the promises you [G]keep
When I am fast a[Dm]sleep, to be where we be[Am]long
Is all that I can ask,[E] we can do it in the [F]shade
As long as I have [E]you and the promises we made[Am] [G/A]
[VERSE 4:]
[Am]Thank you for the promises we [G]break
You made a clean mis[Dm]take, well that's what love's a[Am]bout
No need to stand and [E]shout, the truth is in your [F]eyes
The answer lies with[E]in, no need to criticize[Am]
[CBORUS:]
Thanks, for the promises at [C]hand
The abuse that we must [D]stand
Is often heaven [Am]sent
They may not pay the [C]rent, you never can be [D]sure
When promises get [E]bent[E-Cadd9-E7]
[VERSE 5:]
[Am]Thank you for the promises that [G]live
That is all that I can [Dm]give, forever in my [Am]mind
To leave the past be[E]hind and seal it with a [F]kiss
Forever in my [E]soul, I will remember this [Am] [G/A] [Am]
