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