The Promise

C Am F C

[Verse 1]
C                                      Am
If you need a friend, don't look to a stranger
                 F                    C
You know, in the end, I'll always be there
                    C                        Am
And when you're in doubt and when you're in danger
                  F             C
Take a look all around and I'll be there

[Chorus]
     C
I'm sorry but I'm just thinkin' of the right words to say
   Am
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
    F
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
   C             Am  G      C
I promise, I promise you I will

[Verse 2]
                   C                    Am
When your day is through and so is your temper
                    F                    C
You'll know what to do, I'm gonna always be there
                C                        Am
Sometimes if I shout, It's not what's intended
                      F                 C
These words just come out with no cross to bear

[Chorus]
     C
I'm sorry but I'm just thinkin' of the right words to say
   Am
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
    F
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
   C             Am  G
I promise, I promise you
     C
I'm sorry but I'm just thinkin' of the right words to say
   Am
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
    F
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
   C             Am  G      C
I promise, I promise you I will

[Bridge]

C Am F C

C                            Am
I need to tell ya, I need to tell ya
        F
I gotta tell ya

[Chorus]
     C
I'm sorry but I'm just thinkin' of the right words to say
   Am
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
    F
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
   C             Am  G
I promise, I promise you
     C
I'm sorry but I'm just thinkin' of the right words to say
   Am
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
    F
But if I had to walk the world, I'll make you fall for me
   C             Am  G      Am    F C
I promise, I promise you I will
