Verse 1
E 
Cheap perfume and painted faces, fallen angels fill the places 
        A                           E 
Where I go when my troubles pull me down. 
E 
And all the lies I know they'll tell, and the time that they will sell me, 
      F#                               B 
For a while I'll be the biggest man in town 
 
Verse 2
        E 
Back at home in bed she's crying, for her love for me is dying. 
           A                                 E 
But she'll pray I make it safely through the night. 
         B                                  A 
When the morning sun starts showing, to her bedside I'll be going, 
           E               B7       B       E 
And she'll hold me while I face the morning light.

And I'll make promises, Promises to change.

And I'll start giving all the love she needs If only she will stay… 
 
Verse 3

And once again she'll reassure me, and I believe her love will cure me.

And I'll fall asleep with tears on my face. 
E 
And I know she's just a woman, and her love can't last forever. 
            F#                                  B 
And someday soon, I know she'll leave without a trace.

For broken promises will tear her dreams apart.

Just token promises will someday break her heart,

And for the last time, she'll hold me when I cry,

And while I'm sleeping she'll quietly say goodbye…
