I heard [D] you swear your [A] love this morning
And it caught me [E] almost wanting to [A] believe
The three [D] little words that serve [A] as warning
Say it's just [E] a promise you [A] can keep
A
[D] statement that's been so [A] used
I felt compelled to tell [E] you
But knew there wasn't [A] much to say
[D] I could have threatened leaving
[A] Or listed hopeless reasons
[B] If I didn't have this need [E] to stay
[A]
Three [D] little words should be my [A] warning
Cause I know that's just [E] a promise you [A] can keep
