         E
Cheap perfume and painted faces, fallen angles fill the places
        A                           E
Where I go when my troubles pull me down
    E
And all the lies I know they'll tell me and the time that they will sell me
      F#                               B7
For a while I'll be the biggest man in town

        E
Back at home in bed she's crying, for her love for me is dying
           A                                    E
But she'll pray I'll make it safely through the night
         B7                                A
When the morning sun starts showing to her bedside I'll be going
           E               B7               E
And she'll hold me while I face the morning light


Chorus:
              E
And I'll make promises, promises to change
              G#
I'll make her promises and swear I'll rearrange
         A                            
And I'll start giving all the love she needs
   B7                  A B7
If only she will stay


Once again she'll reassure me and I believe her love will cure me
And I'll fall asleep with tears on my face
Lord, I know she's just a woman and her love can't last forever
And someday soon I know she'll leave without a trace

Chorus 2:
For broken promises will tear her dreams apart
Just token promises will someday break her heart
And for the last time she'll hold me when I cry
And while I'm sleeping she'll quietly say goodbye
