Verse 1
D 
In a sagging town,
F#m 
the road  is it unwound
G 
Seems  to like my face,
D 
A 
Bm 
but with a frown
D 
Lay awake in bed,
F#m 
the sun   should burn my head
G 
D 
A 
Got no reason to get up until I'm spent
D 
Been the victim of abuse,
F#m 
had my own sly hand
G 
D 
I was lazy, no one fast,
A 
I'm not your dad
G 
D 
A 
And those promises you made,
Bm 
A 
G 
you will surely keep
D

Bm 
D 
On and on she'd go pas
F#m 
t the crying stage
G 
Sometimes she'd turn the
D 
A 
page the other way
D 
Today those aimless feet
F#m 
lead her round and round
G 
D 
Remembering thoughtless words
A 
she said to me
D 
No ambition now,
F#m 
since she killed that man
G 
D 
While squeezing hard his throat
A 
to make him understand
G 
D 
And those promises she made,
Bm 
A 
G 
she was sure lucky
D 
Bm 
It's never quite as  bad
A 
G 
D 
as they lead you to believe

Verse 2
D 
There's my dinner roll,
F#m 
right beside my plate
G 
D 
You said tonight'd be late,
A 
so here I am
G 
D 
One sweet humble word,
F#m 
and you may   soon be mine
G 
D 
I try not to waste time,
A 
despite what seems
D 
When you speak to friends,
F#m 
to seek out their advice
G 
D 
Pay heed not what sounds nice,
A 
but to whose end
G 
D 
And those promises you made,
Bm 
A 
G 
you will surely keep
Bm 
D
