[Verse 1]
D                     G
You wanna drive? Go take the keys
D                         G
Can't sit around in this make-believe
Bm                      A
This night might end unhappily
Bm                   A
There was a time I thought it could be
 
D                  G
Somebody stays, somebody leaves
D                        G
That bitter pill needs swallowing
Bm            A
Bottom lip between your teeth
Bm                  A
Somebody else where I should be
 
 
[Chorus]
D                                 G
Promises empty like the bed you sleep in
                               Bm
Broken like the spell you're keeping
A                    G
Promises we can't believe in
 
D                                G
Promises empty like the bed you sleep in
                               Bm
Broken like the spell you're keeping
A                     G
Promises we can't believe in
 Bm                   D
Why we even try to keep them?
 
 
[Verse 2]
  D                      G
Objects are closer than they appear
 D                     G
Growing in my eyes as fast as my fears
Bm                  A
Both my feet have fallen asleep
Bm                        A
Head to the dash in the passenger's seat
 
 D                                    G
I've been struck by your words like a train
             D                   G              Bm         A
Hit with the way you left like rain hits the windowpane
       Bm                  A
Not a drop at a time, but all at once
 
 
[Chorus]
D                                 G
Promises empty like the bed you sleep in
                               Bm
Broken like the spell you're keeping
A                    G
Promises we can't believe in
 
D                                G
Promises empty like the bed you sleep in
                               Bm
Broken like the spell you're keeping
A                     G
Promises we can't believe in
 Bm                   D
Why we even try to keep them?
 
 
[Chorus 2]
