Megadeth - Promises

[Intro]

Dm Dm Dm

[Verse 1]

Dm
Two hearts that shouldn’t
Gm Eb A
Talk to each other become close
A D7
In a town much like a prison cell

Dm Gm
People speak our names
Gm Bbm
On the street in hushed tones
Bbm Am
Oh the stories they’d tell
Dm Eb
If anyone would listen, anyone would listen

Dm
You come from a town where
Eb Am
People don’t bother saying hello
Am Dm
Unless somebody’s born or dies

Dm
And I come from a place where they
Gm A
Drag your hopes through the mud
A D7
Because their own dreams are all dying

[Pre-Chorus]

Eb F
And when we walk down the street
F Eb
The wind sings our name in rebel songs
Eb F
The sounds of the night should make us anxious
Eb F D
But it’s much to late when the fear is gone

[Chorus]

Gm Eb F D Gm
I will meet you in the Next Life, I promise you
Gm Eb F Eb Dm Gm
Where we can be together, I promise you
Gm Eb F Eb D Gm
I will wait till then in Heaven, I promise you
Gm Eb F
I promise, I promise

[Verse 2]

Dm
There’s so many fighting
D A D
To get past the Pearly Gates
D A D
But nobody ever wants to die or get saved

Dm
Their intentions aren’t that good
D Gm
And I can smell the asphalt
A D7
That’s their personal road to hell being paved

[Pre-Chorus]

Eb F
And when we walk down the street
F Eb
The wind sings our name in rebel songs
Eb F D Gm
But it’s much to late when the fear is gone

[Chorus]

Gm Eb F D Gm
I will meet you in the Next Life, I promise you
Gm Eb F Eb Dm Gm
Where we can be together, I promise you
Gm Eb F Eb D Gm
I will wait till then in Heaven, I promise you
Gm Eb F D
I promise, I promise… Uhhh
