C   G  Am G  F


[Verse 1]
         C               G
Though I preach to the choir
       Am      G       F
I'm so lonely, lonely, lonely
         C           G
Though I walk on the wire
       Am      G       F
I'm just holy, holy, holy
        C          G         Bb       F      G
Hangin' on to the promise of you

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
         C               G
Though I run through the fire
       Am      G       F
I get colder, colder, colder
         C           G
I'm not green, I'm not retired
       Am      G       F
I'm just older, older, older
                     C          G         Bb       F      G
And I'm just the fray around the promise of you

[Bridge]
Dm                         G
So many times I thought of hangin' it up
Dm                          G
So many shots but they were never enough
Dm                              G
And so many nights I thought of hangin' it up
Bb      F        C
Woooooo-hoooooooo hoo
G   Am G  F

[Verse 3]
         C               G
Every note that I write
       Am      G       F
I get closer, closer, closer
         C           G
To the end of the night
       Am      G       F
Then I'm over, over, over
        C          G         Bb       F
And I lay my head on the promise of you
