         G                D           C   
THERES A BIBLE ON THE DRESSER, AND A SIGN HUNG ON THE DOOR
        D          C                 G
AND A WOMAN IN MY ARMS WHO SHOULDN’T BE
             G             D            C 
I’M TO THE POINT OF NO RETURNING, AND I’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE
         D              C           G
THIS CHEATIN LIFE IS NOTHING NEW TO ME

           G              D              C
THERE’S SOMEONE TO BE CONSIDERED, SO I CALLED HER ON THE PHONE
             D              C              G
AND SAY THE JOB IS TAKING LONGER THAN I PLANNED
         G                 D                   C         
I DON’T HAVE THE HEART TO TELL HER, THAT A STRANGERS TURN ME ON
           D             C             G
AND I’M HEADED FOR THE BROKEN PROMISE LAND


CHORUS
  G                   C               D               Em
TONIGHT I’M CROSSING OVER, AND I’LL REACH THE CHEATIN SIDE
          G                 D         Am
AND I’LL HATE MYSELF FOR COMING HERE AGAIN
 G                                 C          D                  Em
WHERE THE STREETS ARE PAVED WITH MISERY, AND LIVES ARE BUILT ON LIES
     G                     D            C
THE PLACE THEY CALL THE BROKEN PROMISE LAND

         G                  D            C      
FOUND A NOTE LEFT ON THE DRESSER, AND A KEY LEFT IN THE DOOR
            D                  C             G    
AND ON THE FLOOR I FOUND HER GOLDEN WEDDING BAND
            G             D                   C 
GUESS SHE FINALLY HAD TO TELL ME, SHE’S NOT WAITING ANYMORE
          D           C                 G 
AND SHE’S HEADED FOR THE BROKEN PROMISE LAND


  G               C                 D                     Em
TONIGHT SHE’S CROSSING OVER, AND SHE’LL REACH THE CHEATIN SIDE
          G                 D         Am
AND I’LL HATE MYSELF FOR GIVING HERE CHANCE
 G                                 C          D                  Em
WHERE THE STREETS ARE PAVED WITH MISERY, AND LIVES ARE BUILT ON LIES
     G                     D            C
THE PLACE THEY CALL THE BROKEN PROMISE LAND
