If Ever

[Intro]
 
D
 
[Verse 1]
 
D            A   G                          D
 I close my eyes   and maybe dream myself a lie
             A
 Now you're gone
D              A
 And all those plans we made
G                               D
 Would have been better left unsaid
        A              G
As you wander far from me
   Em             A
I couldn't get myself to say
 
[Chorus]
 
    D
You promised me you'd never go
                                        G
You laughed when I said maybe we should take it slow
         D
I might lose you again
   D
If ever love should fade and grey
                                   G
You promised me a shelter where my heart could stay
        D
Now you threw it away
 
[Verse 2]
 
D          A   G                                D
 I can't deny    I still believe our love won't die
          A
 Not too soon
D          A
 Until I find someone
G                              D
 Someone to mend what you have done
        A              G
As you shattered all my dreams
   Em              A
I couldn't find myself to say
 
[Chorus]
 
    D
You promised me you'd never go
                                        G
You laughed when I said maybe we should take it slow
         D
I might lose you again
   D
If ever love should fade and grey
                                   G
You promised me a shelter where my heart could stay
        D
Now you threw it away
         A
Oh, you threw it away
              D
I'm left with nothing
 
[Bridge]
 
Bm              F#m           G
   I don't know why I have to dream so hard
             Em
When there's nothing left to do
         A                              D
And your promises don't mean a thing to you
 
[Instrumental]
 
D  G D   D  G D
 
        A              G
As you wander far from me
   Em             A
I couldn't get myself to say
 
[Chorus]
 
    D
You promised me you'd never go
                                        G
You laughed when I said maybe we should take it slow
         D
I might lose you again
   D
If ever love should fade and grey
                                   G
You promised me a shelter where my heart could stay
        D
Now you threw it away
         A
Oh, you threw it away
              D
I'm left with nothing
              D
I'm left with nothing
             D
You promised nothing
                 D
Your words meant nothing
