Promise Me

[Verse 1]
              F
We're getting old now
            C
But I don’t feel it
             F
I say you're beautiful
            C
And I still mean it
            F
And I don't wanna know
             C
What old age feels like
           F
So promise me you won’t
           C
Give up on this life
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
And we'll be busy tryin'
Am
While the rest of them are dyin'
 
[Chorus]
F                           C
Promise me we'll never grow up
                  Am
I don't wanna let go
             Dm
I wanna stay young
    F                           C
And even when the wrinkles show up
C
We'll be laughing, and
Am                         D                G
We can play forever, don't make me face the truth
 
[Verse 2]
             F
I think it’s obvious
                C
That we’ll stay happy
               F
'Cause I’m the happiest
               C
When you smile at me
             F
And we won't end the same
           C
A broken family
           F
I'll never walk away
            C
Without you with me
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
    Dm
And times are getting harder
        Am
But I'm nothing like my father
 
[Chorus]
F                           C
Promise me we’ll never grow up
                   Am
I don't wanna fall out
             Dm
I wanna make love
    F                      C
And even when we can't, so what?
C
We're together, and
Am                      D                G
Happy ever after, don't make me face the truth
 
[Post-Chorus]
         F   C  Dm
That I'm dying soon
           F   C  Dm
That we're dying
Dm
Don't say goodbye
 
[Bridge]
Dm
(When did we get so old, so old, so old?)
Dm
We're so much older
F                 C
All I want is one more life with you
F                  C
When did we get so old?
                 Am
Why'd you get so sick?
                  Dm
And how could you die?
 
[Chorus]
    F                            C
You promised me you'd never grow up
                  Am
Now I have to let go
                   Dm
God, I miss you so much
    F                         C
And even when your heart gave out
               Am
I was thinkin' how
                Dm
I won't say goodbye
    F                            C
You promised me you'd never grow up
                     Am
But you fucking grew up
                   Dm
God, I miss you so much
    F                         C
And even when your heart gave out
 
I was thinkin' I'd
 
Am                           D              G
Love you 'til forever, and I can't face the truth
 
[Post-Chorus]
 
       F    C    Dm
That I died with you
         F   C  Dm
That you lied
Dm
(That you died)
Dm
You died
