[Verse]
Em
What are the demons you've been chasing away
C
and how many hearts have been left in your wake
G
Step outside yourself for a moment to see
D
all the pain that you've caused, when will you be free
Em
Will you ever be free?
Em
You talk a good game, wear your heart on your sleeve
C
Those sweet words you whispered, they mesmerized me
G
but you drifted back home to where you belong
D
Left in the dust while I was singin my song
Em
And now it's all gone....
[Chorus]
C G
Why promise the stars and the moon
C G
if you can't even hang on till noon
C G
You walked off into the wind
D
like a joker with your corners bent
C G
Footloose and fancy free
C G
Any damage is all on me
C G
All your promises are long since gone
D
You were never gonna be the one....
[Verse]
Em
Fix your shit boy, don't go breakin more hearts
C
We were already over before we could start
G
Runnin' round with friends, Burning bridges, leavin' tracks
D
Throwin' good hearts out with trash
Em
And you never look back
Em
You apologized for how I feel
C
but you never owned the things you did
G
You put it all on me, it's my fault in the end
D
And you never meant to fuck it up again
Em
But look what you did
[Chorus]
C G
Why promise the stars and the moon
C G
if you can't even hang on till noon
C G
you walked off into the wind
D
like a joker with your corners bent
C G
footloose and fancy free
C G
any damage is all on me
C G
all your promises are long since gone
D
and you were never gonna be the one....
[Bridge]
Em
This whirlwind was never gonna be
C
anything more than temporary
G
a momentary lesson in all the things
D
that were missing for so long
C G
I can't say I didn't want to be
C G
more than a quick fantasy
C G
in the end we don't belong
D
in the end, it was all just wrong
[Chorus]
C G
So don't promise the stars and the moon
C G
when you can't even hang on till noon
C G
I'm walkin' off into the wind
D
no more jokers, my energy's spent
C G
Oh, footloose and fancy free
C G
the damage is all on me
C G
all my promises are done and gone
D
and you were never gonna be the one....
C Em
No you were never gonna be the one...

C D G
Gonna find a place where I can be the one.
