  			Earl Thomas Conley:  
Honor Bound 
D             G     A             D 
Nothings been said, nothings been done  
G                  D                      G                      A 
It's hard to see a difference between the rising and the setting sun  
D                G       A                 D 
But I can feel a change, it's there in her touch  
G                    D           G                A 
It's subtle but it's deep and it hurts us both so much  
 
 
G              A              G               A 
Me because I'm losing her and her because she feels  
D           G      A                              D       G 
She's honor bound, bound by promise that she made so long ago  
A                                           G      D 
But I love her so much that I can't let her know I know  
G                        A                 G      D 
Oh I know her pure heart made that promise honestly  
G                       A              G        D 
Oh but how long can her honor keep her bound to me  
 
 
D               G     A                    D 
She's trying so hard, but it's taking its' toll  
G                  D                 G                   A 
Trying to keep her heart warm with a love slowly growing cold  
D                      G      A                 D  
Well who knows what is right, when every things wrong  
G                D               G                 A     
No matter what I do now it won't matter when she's gone  
 
 
G                       A                      G            A  
But how long can I keep holding her when she's only holding me  
D                 G      A                              D       G           
Cause she's honor bound, bound by promise that she made so long ago  
A                                           G      D                  
But I love her so much that I can't let her know I know  
G                        A                 G      D  
Oh I know her pure heart made that promise honestly  
G                       A              G        D 
Oh but how long can her honor keep her bound to me

It's hard to see a difference between the rising and the setting sun
