C                   E7
noone ever promised anything
C          Am           E7
noone ever promised you anything

[bridge]
F  Fm                  C    E
so keep your eyes wide open
F   Fm              C      E
and your heart well guarded
         F
and your mouth firmly closed
             Fm              C
no it's just not supposed to be
          E
simple or fair
F         G        E
simple or fair

[verse]
noone gets something for nothing
noone is something for nothing

[bridge]
so keep yourself intact
your emotions in check
and your feelings well sent
no it's just never meant to be
easy or true
easy or true

[chorus]
Am                     F   C      G
   and trust is earned not bought
Am                       F    C     G
   and love isn't burned it's sought
    Am           F     C            G
but noone speaks   the truth anymore
Am               E
noone speaks the truth

[bridge]
so keep your eyes wide open
and your heart well guarded
and your mouth firmly closed
no it's just not supposed to be
simple or fair
simple or fair

[chorus]
Am                     F   C      G
   and trust is earned not bought
Am                       F    C     G
   and love isn't burned it's sought
    Am           F     C            G
but noone speaks   the truth anymore
Am               E
noone speaks the truth
   F     Fm    C
anymore
