The Promise by Anberlin
Song: �The Promise�
Artist: Anberlin(Originally by When In Rome)
Album: Cities(2007)
Ok, this is my first tab, so I chose a simple song. I did it in Word so give me a break.
Pretty cool song though��
** I recommend playing the G and F the way that is shown. It gives it more fullness.
You can play them however you like but a G major won�t sound to spiffy in this song.**
**Tuning is in Standard EADGBE**

Verse 1:
C
If you need a friend,
Am
don't look to a stranger,
F
You know in the end,
C
I'll always be there.
C
And when you're in doubt,
Am
and when you're in danger,
F
Take a look all around,
C
and I'll be there.
Chorus:
C
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
Am
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
F
But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
Am G
I promise, I promise you I will.
Verse 2:
C
When your day is through,
Am
and so is your temper,
F
You know what to do,
C
I'm gonna always be there.
C
Sometimes if I shout,
Am
it's not what's intended.
F
These words just come out,
C
with no gripe to bear.
Chorus 2:
C
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
Am
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
F
But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
Am G
I promise, I promise you...
C
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
Am
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
F
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me,
Am G
I promise, I promise you I will.
