Bm
They rise above this,
D
They cry about this,
G Bm
As we live and learn..

A broken promise,
D
I was not honest,
G Bm
Now I watch as tables turn,
And you're singing -
G A
I'll wait my turn,

To tear inside you,
G
Watch you burn,
A
I'll wait my turn,
Bm
I'll wait my turn.
verse 2:
Bm
I'll cry about this,
D G
And hide my cuckold eyes,
Bm
As you come off all concerned,
And I'll find no solace,
D G
In your poor apology, Bm
In your regret that sounds absurd,
And keep singing -
G A
I'll wait my turn,
Bm
To tear inside you,
G
Watch you burn..
A
And I'll wait my turn,
Bm
To terrorize you,
G
Watch you burn..
A
And I'll wait my turn,
Bm
I'll wait my turn.

And this is a promise,

Promise is a promise (x3)
