Bruce Springsteen - The promise

^GJohnny works in a factory and ^CBilly works down^Gtown ^EmTerry works in a rock and roll band looking for t^Amhat million-^G/Bdollar ^Csound And I ^Ggot a little job down in Darlington but s^Come nights I don't ^Ggo ^EmSome nights I go to the drive-in or s^Amome nights^G/B I stay ^Chome I followed that dream just like those guys do w^Gay up on the s^Ccreen And I drove a Challenger down Route 9 through the dead e^Gnds and all the bad s^Ccenes And when the p^Dromise was broken, I cashed in a few of my own d^Greams ^D

Well now ^GI built that Challenger by myself, but I needed m^Coney and so I s^Gold it I ^Emlived a secret I should've kept to myself, but I got d^Amrunk one night ^G/Band I t^Cold it ^EmAll my life I f^Bmought this fight, the f^Amight that no ^G/Bman can ever w^Cin ^GEvery day it just gets h^Darder to live this dream I'm believing ^Gin Thunder ^AmRoa^G/Bd, ^C oh baby you w^Dere so r^Gight Thunder ^AmRoa^G/Bd, ^C there's something dying down on the h^Dighway ton^Gight

^GI won big once and I hit the coast, oh but so^Cmehow I paid the big c^Gost Inside I ^Emfelt like I was carrying the broken spirits of ^Amall the other ^G/Bones who l^Cost When the p^Emromise is broken you ^Bmgo on living, but it s^Amteals something from ^G/Bdown in your s^Coul Like when the t^Gruth is spoken and it don't m^Dake no difference, something in your heart turns c^Gold Thunder ^AmRoa^G/Bd, ^C for the lost lovers and ^Dall the fixed g^Games Thunder ^AmRoa^G/Bd, ^C for the tires rushing ^Dby in the r^Gain Thunder ^AmRoa^G/Bd, ^C remember what me and Billy we'd ^Dalways ^Gsay Thunder ^AmRoa^G/Bd, ^C we were gonna take it all then threw it ^Dall away
