Capo 4th Fret (to match recording)
Intro: (C) (F) (C) (F)
There's a (C) Bible on the (G/B) dresser
And a (Am) sign hung on the (C) door
And a (Dm7) woman in my (Gsus4) arms (G) who shouldn't (C) be (Dm7) (G)
I'm to the (C) point of no re(G/B)turning
But (Am) I've been here be(F5)fore (F#5)
This (G5) cheating (G#5) life is (A5) nothing (Am/G) new to (F) me
There's someone to be considered
So I call her on the phone
And say the job is taking longer than I planned
I don't have the heart to tell her
That a stranger's turned me on
And I'm headed for the broken promise land
To(C)night I'm crossing (F) over
And I'll (G) reach the cheating (C) side
And I'll hate myself for (F) coming here ag(G)ain (F)
Where the (C) streets are paved with (F) misery
And (G) lives are built on (C) lies (C/B)
A (Am) place they call the (G) broken promise (F) land
(Bb) (F) (C)
I found a note left on the dresser
And a key left in the door
And on the floor, I found her golden wedding band
Guess she finally had to tell me
She's not waiting anymore
She's headed for the broken promise land
Tonight she's crossing over
And she'll reach the cheating side
And I'll hate myself for giving her the chance
'Cause the streets are paved with misery
And lives are built on lies
A place they call the broken promise land
(C) And it's more than I can st(F)and (C)
