[Dm] I knew [Gm] a man
[Dm] who lied [Gm] to the world Heard [Dm] [Gm] from the truth, lived
[Dm] a life [Gm] with no
rules I
[Dm] [Gm] knew a man,
[Dm] he lied [Gm] to himself
[Dm] Scared [Gm] of reality,
[Dm] scared to [Gm] ask for help
[Dm] He made [Gm] promises, but they were [Dm] all just [Gm] lies
And he broke [Dm] [Gm] promises, bringing [Dm] tears to their [Am] eyes
He [Dm] made [Gm] promises, that he could [Dm] never ever [Gm] keep
Breaking [Dm] his [Gm] promises, leaving broken hearts to [Am] weep

[Dm] Who had [Gm] big dreams,
[Dm] took [Gm] on the world
[Dm] But soon [Gm] turned to schemes,
[Dm] [Gm] and friends
[Dm] Though he [Gm] became a stranger,
[Dm] hid [Gm] from the world
[Dm] Lived a [Gm] life high on danger
He
[Dm]
made promises, [Gm] but they were [Dm] all just [Gm] lies
And he [Dm] broke promises, bringing [Dm] tears to their [Am] eyes
He [Dm] made [Gm] promises, that he could [Dm] never ever [Gm] keep
Breaking [Dm] his [Gm] promises, [Dm] disappointment runs [Am] deep

He [Dm] made promises, [Gm] that he could [Dm] never ever keep
[Gm] Breaking [Dm] his promises, [Gm] and the bad [Dm] blood runs deep
