[Verse]
            D                    A
I heard you swear your love this morning,
                        E            A
And it caught me almost wanting to believe.
                 D                   A
The three little words that serve as warning,
                   E                 A
And say its just a promise you can't keep.

[Chorus]
D
 A statement that's been so used,
A
 I felt compelled to tell you.
E                              A
 But knew there wasn't much to say.
D
 I could have threatened leavin',
A
 Or listed hopeless reasons,
B                              E
 If I didn't have this need to stay.

A            D                  A
Three little words should be my warning,
                            E                 A
'Cause I know that's just a promise you can't keep.

I heard you swear your love this morning.
