No promises (video)

Am F

1. A winter palace from the Arabian nights,

Am F

white waves on an ocean, gems from a golden age.

Am F G

Life in your new world turning round and round,

Am F G

making some sense where there’s no sense at all.

C7 - C7

Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na.

F C

No promises, but if you should fall.

Am F

2. Stars die in the silence of Arabian nights,

Am F

wind washes the seasons in these days of a golden age.

Am F G

Life in your new world turning round and round,

Am F G

making some sense where there’s no sense at all.

C7 - C7

Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na.

F C

No promises, but if you should fall.

Bb C

+ I could give you more than just the shape of things,

Bb C

break every word, begin it all again,

Bb C

Your name on a white sheet, pure lace shot with passion,

F# D#

but as love lies, bleeding in your hands

heaven sends you.

Am F

3. No promises of Arabian nights,

Am F

no white waves on an ocean, no gems from a golden age.

Am F G

Life in your new world turning round and round,

Am F G

to make some sense where there’s no sense at all.

C7 - C7

Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na,

F C

no promises, but if you should fall.

F C

No promises, but if you should fall.

Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na,

no promises, but if you should fall.

C7 - C7

Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na,

F C

no promises, but if you should fall …
