Honor bound (US & Can Country 1, 1985)     (video)

G - D - G - D

D G D

1. Nothings been said, nothings been done,

G D G A

it's hard to see a difference between the rising and the setting sun.

D G D

But I can feel a change, it's there in her touch,

G D G A

it's subtle but it's deep and it hurts us both so much.

G A G A

Me because I'm losing her and her because she feels …

G A D G A

She's honor bound, bound by promise that she made so long ago,

D G

but I love her so much that I can't let her know, I know.

Em Bm

Oh, I know her pure heart made that promise honestly,

G D - G

oh, but how long can her honor keep her bound to me.

D G D

2. She's trying so hard, but it's taking its' toll,

G D G A

trying to keep her heart warm with a love slowly growing cold.

D G D

Well, who knows what is right, when every things wrong,

G D G A

no matter what I do now it won't matter when she's gone

G A

But how long can I keep holding her when she's only holding me.

+ CHORUS + G - A - G - A - G - D - G - D

D G D

+ Nothings been said, nothings been done,

G D G A - G

it's hard to see a difference between the rising and the setting sun.
