Savage Garden - Promises

PROMISES
(Savage Garden)


Dm G
well don't you know i need a little indulgence
Dm G
listen to the hunter becoming hunted
Dm G
every day there's a million advances
Dm G
don't be too forceful you'll ruin your chances
Em D
well don't you know that time is a broken glass
C Bm
that splinters against the wall
A
but the picture is coming back now baby
Em7/B
and i want to take it all

Chorus:
C G/B Am G
don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
Dm G
there's a time to play a king and a time to be a thief
C G/B Am G
cause if your making all these promises you know you cannot keep
Dm G C
you know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone

Dm G
so let your body move a little bit closer
Dm G
silent like the sound proceeding a cyclone
Dm G
don't you know that powerful thinking
Dm G
is a force you don't want to relinquish
well don't you know that
Em D C Bm
they say that hanging on will justify the wait
A Em7/B
but patience and elated wisdom don't share a common phrase

(Chorus)

F G
well i'm only hanging on for what goes down baby
F G
i'm floating high and my feet don't touch the ground
F G
i'd take advantage but i can't see through this charade
Em G Am G Dm
so don't you don't you go make it harder than hell
don't go making promises don't go making promises
Em G
when it comes down to the making
Am G Dm
you better be damned sure you can take it hey baby
G C G/B Am G Dm
don't go making promises don't go making promises

Em G Am G
cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
Dm G
there's a time to play a king and a time to be a theif
Em G Am G
cause if your making all these promises you know you cannot keep
Dm G
you know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up

Em G Am G
a fool a fool a lonely sorry fool
Dm
oh baby cause i told you baby
