PROMISES BROKEN by Soul Asylum


Intro:    

                                
Street are filled with broken glass
                        
you get buried by the past, give me just
                                  
a little taste, lay this mess to waste,
           
Take me home.
                           
My mind is racing take me home, my body's
            
aching so alone, I'll make you want to stay
                                          
with me befriended by the enemy, one more time

CHORUS:
                                       
Every little thing about you tells me nothing out
                             
there is ever gonna help me all these words that
                                     
I hear spoken - just promises broken now

                                      
Looking outside from the window sill throw another
                                  
coin in the wishing well,  you'll never find what
                         
your looking for, 15 miles your dim light shines
                                 
from so far away, your sad smile, is all I see
        
when I say


REPEAT CHORUS---

               
From the hotel satellite don't look like you're livin'
                            
right here's a deal you can't refuse, you ain't got as
                                              
much to lose ----Can you tell your troubles to someone
                                       
who won't laugh at you, It's alright.     And as I watch
                                                  
you walk away hope a part of you will stay, it's alright

REPEAT CHORUS ONCE and you're through!

In the breaks between verses, the little hammer is
just A to B. On the A string: open then second fret

The little run before "Looking outside from the window.."
is just ---
