[Verse]
G Em
Ain't no golden gates gonna swing open
Ain't no streets paved in natural pearl
C G
Ain't no angel with a harp come singin'
C G
Leastways not that I know in this world
[Instrumental]
G Em
[Verse]
G Em
In these days of uncertain futures
Who knows what the masters might do
C D
They got their big deals goin' on, goin' on
C D
Got nothing to do with me and you
[Chorus]
Am D
If I could I'd get us a big suite
Am D
Overlooking the Park
G D
Only promises I know to be true
C D
Are the promises made from the heart
C D
Just the promises made from the heart
[Instrumental]
G Em
[Verse]
G Em
I don't need to see the whole thing go down
I don't need to see another lonely man
C D
I don't need to see a woman crying for the savior
C D
Holding on to some moneyman's hand
{Chorus]
Am D
Who can I call to make my reservations
Am D
Forever thrown in the dark
G D
Only promises I know to be true
C D
Are the promises made from the heart
C D
Just the promises made from the heart
[Verse]
C Am
I don't believe in the authorities
C Am
They ain't gonna take care of me and you
F D
I don't have all the strength that I need
F D
To live the way that I want to
[Instrumental]
G D
[Chorus]
G D
Only promises I know to be true
C D
Are the promises made from the heart
C D
Just the promises made from the heart
[Outro]
