Intro (x2): Em C   A C   D          

Verse 1:
Em                 C 
Changed my name to promise you, yeah
A                 C            D         
Dying inside 'cuz I want to, yeah
Em             C 
Didn't I say I wanted to, yeah
A                   C         D         
Honey I'd changed before you, yeah
Em           C 
28 years are coming to end
    A                       C       D         
The rain chased me down the gully again
Em                  C 
Now I'm higher than anyone here
A                         C     D         
And dirt ain't nothing on me, yeah

Interlude:
Em        C 
 But she's gone
A          C   D         
 But she's gone
Em        C 
 But she's gone
A          C   D         
 But she's gone

Verse 2:
        Em                 C 
Buh-buh-baby I swear it, I wanted to call
    A                  C            D         
But on my way around I happened to fall
        Em     C 
She's a MUa at Carnegie Hall
       A                    C          D         
In her Vanity Mirror, we're losing it all
        Em                C 
Well we shacked up swift abandonment way
A                  C        D         
Catch sweet rain inside a beret
Em                   C 
In it I'm reflecting all of the day
A                      C        D         
And I will fade in the night, yeah

Chorus:
D
Will you apologise
          C               Em
For the remainder of your life?
D
Do you accept the charges?
  C                 A
I promise you, I promise to, yeah

Verse 3:
             Em                C 
Well now she curls up with his favourite son
         A              C           D         
He's the ugliest man in heaven for one
Em                        C 
As long as there's nobody fooling me there
A                          C         D         
Then dirt ain't nothing on me, yeah yeah
              Em               C 
They threw me out like I was a wedding bouquet
      A                         C          D         
Now I can't quite remember what I had to say
     Em                C 
'Til I get higher than everyone here
A                      C       D         
And I will fade in the night yeah

Chorus:
D
In the charmless morning
  C              Em
I promise to be gone
D
I almost felt the feeling
       C               Em
That I wanted to, I wanted to, yeah
D
You thought I was here
        C                Em
But I'm further than the sun, sun
D
Silent as the feeling
       C                 A
That I promised you, I promised you, yeah

Outro:
       Em                 C 
Well I changed my name to promise you, yeah
A                           C           D         
It's easier than me making apologies, yeah
Em                  C 
Now I'm higher than anyone here
A                         C     D         
And dirt ain't nothing on me, yeah
