  Title:  Promise

  Artist: deliriou5

  Source: King of Fools (Furious Records)

  

  Transcribed by:Elliot Whiting (ellw@hotmail.com)

  

  Best selling British single from deliriou5, reached No.20 in the

  billboard charts.

  

  Valvey distortion neccessary, reduce for verse or play softer so that

  the signal breaks up less.

  

  

  

  INTRO:

   What ever happened? [sample]

   G / Em7#9 / A x2

   G / Em7#9 / A / C

  

  VERSE:

   G /Em(7#9) [Let ring]

            Did I wipe the tear, or did I spit in your face?

    Did I point the finger or give the hand of grace?

        C   F          Em(7#9)

    Oh why...does it come to this?

  

  [Strike chords once]

    Em7(#9)                                         A

    Is it freedom that you want, or are the chains in your head?

      Em                         A

    Can a man play God, when He made his own bed?

       C     F         Em

    Oh why...does it come to this?

  

  CHORUS:

  G / Em7#9                          A

          Whatever happened to the love that you made?

  G / Em7#9                          A

          Whatever happened to the prayer that you prayed?

  G / Em7#9                          A          C

          Whatever happens to a promise these days?

  

  

  VERSE:[Play each note of the chord, upwards]

              Em7                           A

       Did the Earth disappear, when you told of the truth,

              Em7                             A

       Of the lands you would conquer, of the mountains you'd move?

            C   F               Em

       Oh why...does it come to this?

  

  

  [As before]

  Did you covenant or live the dream in your head?

  Would you die for her or rather raise the dead?

  Oh when...will I learn from this?
