As Hope and Promise Fade
guitar chords lyrics
Intro Em Am x4
Am Dm Am
as hope and promise fades
Am Dm Am
and the sun forgets to rise
Dm Am
I'm lonely and I'm thirsty
Em
but it's better I stay dry
Am Dm
No more than two drinks away
Am
from crying
Em Am x2
Am Dm Am
Stare into the glass
Am Dm Am
and wait for the time to pass
Dm Am
And thank you for the offer
Em
but you know I must decline
Am Dm
No more than two drinks away
Am
from crying
Dm Dsus4 Dm
There used to be a time
Am
When I could hold my head up high
Dm Dsus4 Dm
My life stretched out before me
E
and rivers flowed with wine
Dm Dsus4 Dm
and had my love beside me
Am
and everything was fine
Dm E
But now the ride is over
Am
It's hard to say goodbye
Am Dm Am
As hope and promise fade
Am Dm Am
and midnight turns to day
Dm Am
I'd love to drown my sorrow
Em
but I cannot tell a lie
Am Dm
No more than two drinks away
Am
from crying
