Song: "The Promise"
Artist: Anberlin(Originally by When In Rome)
Album: Cities(2007)

Ok, this is my first tab, so I chose a simple song. I did it in Word so give me a break.
Pretty cool song though  
** I recommend playing the G and F the way that is shown. It gives it more fullness.
You can play them however you like but a G major won't sound to spiffy in this song.**

**Tuning is in Standard EADGBE**

Verse 1:

                  C
If you need a friend,
           Am
don't look to a stranger,
         F
You know in the end,
             C
I'll always be there.

                C
And when you're in doubt,
                 Am
and when you're in danger,
               F
Take a look all around,
     C
and I'll be there.

Chorus:
  C
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
  Am
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
   F
But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
     Am        G
I promise, I promise you I will.

Verse 2:
        C
When your day is through,
           Am
and so is your temper,
             F
You know what to do,
                C
I'm gonna always be there.

      C
Sometimes if I shout,
        Am
it's not what's intended.
              F
These words just come out,
         C
with no gripe to bear.


Chorus 2:
             C
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
         Am
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
         F
But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
       Am             G
I promise, I promise you...

            C
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
            Am
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)

               F
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me,
      Am                 G
I promise, I promise you I will.

Last Chorus:
              C
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
             Am
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
               F
But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
       Am           G
I promise, I promise you...

              C

I promise, I promise you I will ...
   C
I will...
I will...
I will
