EE7
Promise me no promises
AAm
So will I not promise you
EE7
Keep we both our liberties
AAm
Never false and never true
G#
Let us hold the die uncast
C#mA
Free to come as free to go
EB
For I cannot know your past
EBE [E7, A, Am]
And of mine what can you know?
EE7
You, so warm, may once have been
AAm
Warmer towards another one
EE7
I, so cold, may once have seen
AAm
Sunlight, once have felt the sun
G#
Who shall show us if it was
C#mA
Thus indeed in time of old?
EB
Fades the image from the glass
EBE [E7, A, Am]
And the fortune is not told
G#C#m
If you promised, you might grieve
BE
For lost liberty again
G#C#m
If I promised, I believe
BE
I should fret to break the chain
G#
Let us be the friends we were
C#mA
Nothing more but nothing less
EBE
Many thrive on frugal fare
EBE [E7, A, Am]
Who would perish of excess
EA
Promise me no promises
EE7
Promise me no promises
AAm
So will I not promise you
EE7
Keep we both our liberties
AAm
Never false and never true
G#
Let us hold the die uncast
C#mA
Free to come as free to go
EB
For I cannot know your past
EBE [E7, A, Am]
And of mine what can you know?
G#C#m
If you promised, you might grieve
BE
For lost liberty again
G#C#m
If I promised, I believe
BE
I should fret to break the chain
G#C#m
Let us be the friends we were

Nothing more but nothing less
G#C#m
Many thrive on frugal fare
BE
Who would perish of excess
E, E7, A, Am
Promises like pie-crust
E, E7, A, Am
Promises like pie-crust
E, E7, A, Am... E
