Intro: Am F G Am 

verse 1: 

Am                      Dm 
Promises made, promises broken 
            C 
That was my song 
                 G 
Only song that I knew 
             Am 
I never kept one 
                 Dm 
My heart was not open 
C               G 
Now, you see me new 

Bridge: 

    F                 C 
The rose beyond that promise 
    Am       Em    Am 
And all that I can be  
   F                Am       Em     
If I just keep that promise             
    Em7 
The one I made to me 

verse 2: 

Am                      Dm 
Promises made, promises broken 
           C          G 
No that is not, who I am  
              Am 
The best laid planned     
               Dm 
Leave the door open 
             C           G 
So all can believe once again  
        Am 
In promises
