INTRO: (G) (Em7) (Cadd9) (Cadd9)   (G) (G/F#) (Em7) (Cadd9) (Cadd9)

I'm (G)not much at (Em7)love

But I would be a (Cadd9)perfect leader

With (G)no golden touch (G/F#)still I (Em7)promise too much

And (Cadd9)somehow you believed in me

(C)Every(C/B)body (Am)says I'm rough around the (C)edges  (C,B,A) (Am)

But I cut (D)through (C,B,A) (Am)

I lost my (C)list of pledges (C,B,A) (Am)

And all I (D)meant to (C)do (D)for (G)you

Here I (C)stand holding nobody's (Am)hand

(D)One thousand promises (G)later

In com(C)mand of a ship on dry (Am)land

(D)One thousand promises (G)gone

(G)Sorry is just a (Em7)little word

With a lot (Cadd9)of little meanings

For(G)give and forget (G/F#)I won't (Em7)do that again

And (Cadd9)you took me literally

(C)Every(C/B)body (Am)says that time will (C)heal the wounded (C,B,A) (Am)

But time will (D)tell (C,B,A) (Am)

And when this (C)day's concluded (C,B,A) (Am)

I'll build a (D)better (C)wish(D)ing (G)well

Here I (C)stand holding nobody's (Am)hand

(D)One thousand promises (G)later

In com(C)mand of a ship on dry (Am)land

(D)One thousand promises (C)gone

On my honor

I swore that they could (G)end the (C)world

Only you could hurt me

(C)Like (C/B)I (Am)never (D)knew

That promise came (C)true (C/B) (Am) (G)

(G) (Em7) (Cadd9) (Cadd9)   (G) (G/F#) (Em7) (Cadd9) (Cadd9)

(C)Every(C/B)body (Am)says that time will (C)heal the wounded (C,B,A) (Am)

But time cuts (D)too (CBA) (Am)

And when this days con(C)cluded (CBA) (Am)

I promise (D)I'll still (C)ache (D)for (G)you

Here I (C)stand holding nobody's (Am)hand

(D)One thousand promises (G)later

In com(C)mand of a ship on dry (Am)land

(D)One thousand promises (C)gone

On my honor

I swore that they could (C/B)end the (C)world

Only you could hurt me

(C)Like (C/B)I (Am)never (D)knew

That promise (G)came true

Here I (C)stand (Am)

(D)One thousand promises (G)later...
