E 022100 B x24442




[A]INTRO


I heard you [D]swear your love this [A]morning,
And it caught me almost [E]wanting to be[A]lieve.
The three little [D]words that serve as [A]warning,
And say its just a [E]promise you can't [A]keep.


[D] A statement that's been so used,
[A] I felt compelled to tell you.
[E] But knew there wasn't much to [A]say.
[D] I could have threatened leavin',
[A] Or listed hopeless reasons,
[B] If I didn't have this need to [E]stay.


[A]Three little [D]words should be my [A]warning,
'Cause I know that's just a [E]promise you can't [A]keep.
