Hard Promises To Keep(Chords)

	        G               C           G  
I'm trying to believe in forever 
                C            G                D 
I'm trying to believe in the little jewel box life we lead 
G              C 
Babe, I get so close sometimes 
G                C 
But all I really know is 
  G                                   D           G    C   
I believe that we've been making hard promises to keep 
G                 C          G 
You want me to believe in forever 
G                         C 
Do you know how tight I'm holding 
        G                    D 
Just to keep my grip on yesterday 
G                  C              G                 C 
I'm trying hard to see the pretty pictures that you paint for me 
       G                                  D           G  
Do you know how tight I'm holding to hard promises to keep 
C                        G 
Promises are like little diamonds 
C                        G 
Promises are like little hearts 
            D 
We meant to give away 
G                              C 
I thought you'd want them back someday 
G                      C 
I've kept them for you anyway 
      G                              D           G 
But I know when I've been given hard promises to keep

C                        G 
Promises are like little diamonds 
C                        G 
Promises are like little hearts 
            D 
We meant to give away 
G                              C 
I thought you'd want them back someday 
G                      C 
I've kept them for you anyway 
      G                              D           G 
But I know when I've been given hard promises to keep 
                                     D           G 
And I know that I've been given hard promises to keep
