The ^Ampromise of ^Glove was written ^Amon your ^Gface. G (*Riff) You led me on, with untrue kisses; You ^Amheld me ^Gcaptive in your ^Amfalse em-^Gbrace.

Bridge 1:

^F Quicker than I could bat an ^Ceye, ^F Seems you were telling me good-^Cbye.

Chorus 1:

^G Just a ^Cminute ago your ^Glove was ^Chere, ^G All of a ^Csudden, it seemed to ^Gdisap-^Cpear. ^G Sweetness was ^Conly heartache's ^Gcamou-^Cflage; ^G The love I ^Csaw in you was ^Gjust a mi-^Crage.

Break: e|--------------------| B|--------------------| G|--0-0---------------| D|-------0-0----------| A|------------1-1-----| E|-----------------3--| (x2) Verse 2: G (*Riff) We used to meet in romantic places;

You ^Amgave the i-^Gllusion that your ^Amlove was ^Greal. G (*Riff) Now all that's left are lipstick traces; From the ^Amkisses you ^Gonly pre-^Amtended to ^Gfeel.

Bridge 2:

^F And now our meeting, you a-^Cvoid, ^F And so my world, you have des-^Ctroyed.

Chorus 2:

^G Just a ^Cminute ago your ^Glove was ^Chere, ^G All of a ^Csudden, it seemed to ^Gdisap-^Cpear. ^G The way you ^Cwrecked my life was ^Glike sabo-^Ctage, ^G The love I ^Csaw in you was ^Gjust a mi-^Crage.

^F You only filled me with de-^Cspair, ^F By showing love that wasn't ^Cthere.

Chorus 3:

^G Just like the ^Cdesert shows a ^Gthirsty ^Cman, ^G A green o-^Casis where there's ^Gonly ^Csand. ^G You lured me ^Cinto something ^GI should have ^Cdodged, ^G The love I ^Csaw in you was ^Gjust a mi-^Crage.
