As Hope And Promise Fade(Chords)

	        
Intro: E Am (4x) 

   Am       Dm      Am 
as hope and promise fades 
        Am  Dm         Am 
and the sun forgets to rise 
    Dm     Dsus4   Dm 
I'm lonely and I'm thirsty 
E 
but it's better I stay dry 
	     Am         Dm 
No more than two drinks away 
     Am 
from crying 

E Am (2x) 

Am      Dm     Am 
Stare into the glass 
     Am          Dm      Am 
and wait for the time to pass 
    Dm        Dsus4   Dm 
And thank you for the offer 
E 
but you know I must decline 
             Am         Dm 
No more than two drinks away 
     Am 
from crying 

      Dm           Dsus4  Dm 
There used to be a time 
             Am 
When I could hold my head up high 
   Dm             Dsus4     Dm 
My life stretched out before me 
E 
and rivers flowed with wine 
Dm  Dsus4       Dm 
and had my love beside me 
Am 
and everything was fine 
    Dm                  E 
But now the ride is over 
                            Am 
It's hard to say goodbye 

   Am       Dm      Am 
As hope and promise fade 
    Am       Dm       Am 
and midnight turns to day 
    Dm      Dsus4    Dm 
I'd love to drown my sorrow 
E 
but I cannot tell a lie 
             Am         Dm 
No more than two drinks away 
     Am 
from crying
