INRTO: G C G C
VERSE:
G D
There's a bible on the dresser,
C
and a sign hung on the door,
D C G
and a woman in my arms that shouldn't be.
G D
I'm to the point of no returning,
C
but I've been here before.
D C G
This cheating life is nothing new to me.
G D
There's someone to be considered,
C
I call her on the phone,
D C G
and say the job is taking longer than I planned
G D
I dont have the heart to tell her,
C
that a stranger turned me on,
D C G
and I'm heading for the broken promise land
CHORUS:
G C
Tonight I'm crossing over
D Em
and I'll reach the cheating side
G D Am
and I'll hate myself for coming here again.
G C
Where the streets are paved with misery
D Em
and lives are built on lies,
G D C
the place they call the broken promise land
VERSE:
G D
Found the note left on the dresser,
C
and the key left in the door,
D C G
and on the floor I found her golden wedding band.
G D
Guess she finally had to tell me,
C
she's not waiting here no more,
D C G
and she heading for the broken promise land.
CHORUS:
G C
Tonight she's crossing over
D Em
and she'll reach the cheating side
G D Am
and I'll hate myself for giving her the chance.
G C
'Cause the streets are paved with misery
D Em
and lives are built on lies.
G D C
The place they call the broken promise land.
G C
...and its more than I can stand.
