G 
the  (G major) day you put me down,

D 
 (D major) if you came around.
But here you are, within my arms,
G

Verse 2
A 
D 
They told  (A major)  (D major) me you were at a dance
G 
and  (G major) I  prepared to go:
A 
I  (A major) made myself a promise that
D 
 (D major) I'd only say hello.
I knew you'd only hurt me,
G 
but  (G major) it's such sweet misery,
A 
So I  (A major) broke the promise that I made to me.
