Laufey – Promise
Key: C Major BPM: ♩. = 42 Time: 6/8
|C     |C/Bb     |Am7     |Fm6/Ab     |

|C       |C/Bb     |Am7          |Fm6/Ab   |
   I made a promise,  to distance   myself
|C       |C/Bb                  |Am7            |Fm6/Ab              |
   Took a flight, through aurora skies, honestly I didn't think about
|C            |C/Bb             |Am7         |Fm6/Ab   |
 How we didn’t say goodbye, just see you very soon
  |Dm7                        |Fm6/Ab             |
It hurts to be something, it’s worse to be nothing

|C         |C/Bb     |Am7     |Fm6/Ab     |
   with you

|C            |C/Bb      |Am7     |Fm6/Ab   |
   So I didn't   call you,  for 16 long days
|C             |C/Bb      |Am7                 |Fm6/Ab   |
   And I should get, a cigarette, for so much restraint
         |C           |C/Bb            |Am7          |Fm6/Ab   |
No matter how long I resist temptation, I will always lose
  |Dm7                        |Fm6/Ab             |
It hurts to be something, it’s worse to be nothing

|Dm7                    |G7               |C                  |A7   |
 with you, I’ve done the math, theres no solution, we’ll never last
|Dm7            |Fm6/Ab     |
 Why can't I let go of this?

|C     |C/Bb     |Am7     |Fm6/Ab     |
|C     |C/Bb     |Am7     |Fm6/Ab     |

|C           |C/Bb        |Am7       |Fm6/Ab        |
   So I broke   my promise,  I called you last night
|C            |C/Bb            |Am7                        |Fm6/Ab        |
   I shouldn't have, I wouldn't have, if it weren't for the sight of a boy
   |C                    |C/Bb           |Am7       |Fm6/Ab   |
Who looked just like you, standing out on Melrose Avenue
  |Dm7                        |Fm6/Ab             |
It hurts to be something, it’s worse to be nothing

|C         |C/Bb     |Am7     |Fm6/Ab     |
   with you

  |Dm7                        |Fm6/Ab             |
It hurts to be something, it’s worse to be nothing
    |C     |Am7    Fm6/Ab    |C     |
with you
