E
Cheap perfume and painted faces,
Fallen angels fill the places
A E
Where I go when my troubles pull me down.
All the lies I know they'll tell me,
And the time that they will sell me,
F# B7
For a while I'll be the biggest man in town.
E
Back at home in bed she's crying,
For her love for me is dying,
A E
But she'll pray I make it safely through the night.
B7
When the mornin' sun starts showing,
A
To her bedside I'll be going,
E B7 E
And she'll hold me while I face the morning light.
And I'll make promises,
Promises to change.
Ab
I'll make her promises, swear I'll rearrange.
A
And I'll start giving all the love she needs,
B7 A B7
If only she will stay.
E
Once again she'll reassure me,
And I believe her love will cure me,
A E
And I'll fall asleep with tears on my face.
Lord I know she's just a woman,
And her love can't last forever,
F# B7
And someday soon I know she'll leave without a trace.
E
For broken promises
Will tear her dreams apart,
Ab
Just token promises will someday break her heart.
A
And for the last time she'll hold me when I cry
B7
And while I'm sleeping,
A B7
She'll quietly say:
C D E
Goodbye.
