INRTO: G C G C
G D C
THERES A BIBLE ON THE DRESSER, AND A SIGN HUNG ON THE DOOR
D C G
AND A WOMAN IN MY ARMS WHO SHOULDN?T BE
G D C
I?M TO THE POINT OF NO RETURNING, AND I?VE BEEN HERE BEFORE
D C G
THIS CHEATIN LIFE IS NOTHING NEW TO ME
G D C
THERE?S SOMEONE TO BE CONSIDERED, SO I CALLED HER ON THE PHONE
D C G
AND SAY THE JOB IS TAKING LONGER THAN I PLANNED
G D C
I DON?T HAVE THE HEART TO TELL HER, THAT A STRANGERS TURN ME ON
D C G
AND I?M HEADED FOR THE BROKEN PROMISE LAND
[Refrão] G C D Em
TONIGHT I?M CROSSING OVER, AND I?LL REACH THE CHEATIN SIDE
G D Am
AND I?LL HATE MYSELF FOR COMING HERE AGAIN
G C D Em
WHERE THE STREETS ARE PAVED WITH MISERY, AND LIVES ARE BUILT ON LIES
G D C
THE PLACE THEY CALL THE BROKEN PROMISE LAND
G D C
FOUND A NOTE LEFT ON THE DRESSER, AND A KEY LEFT IN THE DOOR
D C G
AND ON THE FLOOR I FOUND HER GOLDEN WEDDING BAND
G D C
GUESS SHE FINALLY HAD TO TELL ME, SHE?S NOT WAITING ANYMORE
D C G
AND SHE?S HEADED FOR THE BROKEN PROMISE LAND
G C D Em
TONIGHT SHE?S CROSSING OVER, AND SHE?LL REACH THE CHEATIN SIDE
G D Am
AND I?LL HATE MYSELF FOR GIVING HERE CHANCE
G C D Em
WHERE THE STREETS ARE PAVED WITH MISERY, AND LIVES ARE BUILT ON LIES
G D C
THE PLACE THEY CALL THE BROKEN PROMISE LAND
