VERSE I
C           G
 This place looks familiar
C            G
 They always are
C            G
 Came here again to meet you
C             G
 My guiding star
C                   G
 What's that? Can I hear you talking
C                G
 What's that you say?
C                  G
 Every cloud has a silver lining
C          G
 Come what may
       F                           G
 And 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
 This last drink 


C  G  C  G  C  G


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 .....
