[Refrão]

            Am       F 
This much I promise 
                                C 
You ain't gotta cry no more for me 
                  G 
I'm gonna make it easy for you 
            Am       F 
This much I promise 
                                      C 
You ain't gotta deal no more with the guilt 
                          G 
I'll die before I let you kill me 
              Am 
This much I promise 



verse 1 
              Am 
Look, we made promises, honestly I don't know what happened 
   F 
It seems that we came to a point we stopped laughing 
C 
You never see it coming, it's like a slap in the face 
G 
A cold shower, we must have tapped the breaks 
Am                                         F 
And they say when a door close another one opens 
                                              C 
I was running towards the first one trying to hold it 

Hopeless 
G 
I guess that I was too blind to notice 
              Am 
Now I let you go knowing everything is OK 
               F 
Knowing if you stayed it would probably give us more pain 
              C 
I'd rather be lonely than make you smile again 
              G 
I'd rather be lonely to feel alive again 
           Am 
I remember when I told you I will never make you cry 
          F 
And I can finally achieve it if I let you fly 
          C 
So let me keep a promise, better late than never 
               G                                    Am 
I won't be the reason why you cry again ever 


Chorus 


verse 2
 
I hid the pictures of us in a box, there's dust on the frames 
And about as much to do as there's nothing to say 
I hope you're living life though, hell if I know 
You became a stranger from my past when I let go 
But I need you to know, I tried to make up 
For every mistake, you know it's not like I just gave up 
And I remember when you made me say that I would always be a part of your  
life 
Guess you forgot it, right? 
We've been growing apart for so long 
My last words ended up being a monologue 
I've been killing myself trying to analyze and understand 
I'm done letting you have the upper hand 
I'd rather be alone and make you happy 
If that's what it takes I'm walking away gladly 
I put us back in the box, close it and put it away 
I swear that'll be the last promise I make 

Chorus (2x)
