VERSE II
We've met in so many places
We've always danced
Then every morning after
Left in a trance
You know if we keep on meeting
You'll take my soul
Lets make this our last greeting
Cos I must go
But I love it when you whisper to me
CHORUS
C G
It's always a promise
C G
In the dreams that you think
C G
There always a promise
A
In this last drink
C G
It's always a promise
C G
In the dreams that you think
C G
There always a promise
A
In this last drink

VERSE III
This time I really mean it
It's over now
Last night we both went to far
You know how
Today I'm left staring
A thousand yards
Today I know you promised
The house of cards
But I love it when you whisper to me
CHORUS
C G
It's always a promise
C G
In the dreams that you think
C G
There always a promise
C G
In this last drink
C G
It's always a promise
C G
In the dreams that you think
C G
There always a promise
A
In this last drink .....
