	        INTRO: G C G C 
 
VERSE: 
            G             D 
There's a bible on the dresser, 
        C                                                    
and a sign hung on the door, 
        D           C                  G                                
and a woman in my arms that shouldn't be. 
             G             D 
I'm to the point of no returning, 
      C  
but I've been here before. 
         D               C           G 
This cheating life is nothing new to me. 
           G              D 
There's someone to be considered, 
   C 
I call her on the phone, 
             D              C              G 
and say the job is taking longer than I planned 
         G                D 
I dont have the heart to tell her, 
           C 
that a stranger turned me on, 
           D              C             G 
and I'm heading for the broken promise land 
G C Tonight I'm crossing over D Em and I'll reach the cheating side G D Am and I'll hate myself for coming here again. G C Where the streets are paved with misery D Em and lives are built on lies, G D C the place they call the broken promise land
VERSE: G D Found the note left on the dresser, C and the key left in the door, D C G and on the floor I found her golden wedding band. G D Guess she finally had to tell me, C she's not waiting here no more, D C G and she heading for the broken promise land. Chorus: G C Tonight she's crossing over D Em and she'll reach the cheating side G D Am and I'll hate myself for giving her the chance. G C 'Cause the streets are paved with misery D Em and lives are built on lies. G D C The place they call the broken promise land. G C ...and its more than I can stand.
