Intro: C Am F (x2) 

verse 1 : 

     C                         Am            F 
Well I was 19, you were 21, the year we got engaged 
C                                           Am         F 
Everyone said we were much too young, but we did it anyway 
G                    Am             C/E               F 
We got the rings for 40 each from a pawnshop down the road 
   G                 Am                C/E      F 
We said our vows and took the leap now 15 years ago 


 
        C              Am G F 
We went dancing in the minefields 
        C              Am G F 
We went sailing in the storms 
           C              Am 
And it was harder than we dreamed 
    G   F 
But I believe that’s what the promise is for 

Gsus4 G F                               Gsus4 G 
         (That’s what the promise is for) 


Interlude 1 : C Am F 

verse 2 : 
        C 
Well “I do” are the two most famous last words 
      Am      G      F 
The beginning of the end 
       C                                          Am         G    F 
But to lose your life for another I’ve heard is a good place to begin 
           G           Am                   C/E               F 
‘Cause the only way to find your life is to lay your own life down 
    G                 Am                 C/E               F 
And I believe it’s an easy price for the life that we have found 

 
        C              Am G F 
We went dancing in the minefields 
        C              Am G F 
We went sailing in the storms 
           C              Am 
And it was harder than we dreamed 
    G   F 
But I believe that’s what the promise is for 

Gsus4 G F                               Gsus4 G 
         (That’s what the promise is for) 


Bridge : 
          Am         F/A 
So when I lose my way, find me 
       Am               F/A 
When I lose loves chains, bind me 
       C             F/A          C/E           F 
At the end of all my faith to the end of all my days 
       Am            F/A 
When I forget my name, remind me 

Interlude 2 : C Am F 

verse 3 : 
       C 
‘Cause we bear the light of the Son of man 
           Am      G       F 
So there’s nothing left to fear 

        C                                          Am      G    F 
So I’ll walk with you in the shadow lands till the shadows disappear 
          G               Am               C/E          F 
‘Cause He promised not to leave us and His promises are true 
          G            Am         C/E          F 
So in the face of this chaos, baby I can dance with you 

 
            C              Am G F               C              Am G F 
So let’s go dancing in the minefields, let’s go sailing in the storms 
             C              Am G F          C                Am G F 
Oh, let’s go dancing in the minefields, and kicking down the doors 
             C              Am G F          C              Am G F 
Oh, let’s go dancing in the minefields, and sailing in the storms 
            C              Am 
Oh, this is harder than we dreamed 
    G   F                                C 
But I believe that’s what the promise is for 
Am                F 
  That’s what the promise is for
