Lyrics

[Verse 1]
E             E
 Cheap perfume and painted faces
Fallen angels fill the places
       A                                E
Where I go when my troubles pull me down
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 make it safely through the night
         B7
When the mornin' sun starts showing
       A
To her bedside I'll be going
           E               B7               E
And she'll hold me while I face the morning light
              E
And I'll make promises

[Chorus]
Promises to change
              G#
I'll make her promises swear I'll rearrange
               A
And I'll start giving all the love she needs
        B7
If only she will stay

[Verse 2]
      E
Once again she'll reassure me and
I believe her love will cure me
        A                            E
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
            F#
And someday soon I know she'll
                B7
Leave without a trace
            E
For broken' promises

[Chorus]
Will tear her dreams apart
           G#
Just token promises will someday break her heart
            A
And for the last time she'll hold me when I cry
             B7
And while I'm  sleeping
       A       B7      C  D E
She'll quietly say goodbye
