Standard (EADGBE)

well don't you know i need a little indulgence

listen to the hunter becoming hunted

every day there's a million advances

don't be too forceful you'll ruin your chances

well don't you know that time is a broken glass

that splinters against the wall

but the picture is coming back now baby

and i want to take it all

Chorus

don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep

there's a time to play a king and a time to be a thief

cause if your making all these promises you know you cannot keep

you know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone

so let your body move a little bit closer

silent like the sound proceeding a cyclone

don't you know that powerful thinking

is a force you don't want to relinquish

well don't you know that

they say that hanging on will justify the wait

but patience and elated wisdom don't share a common phrase

(Chorus)

well i'm only hanging on for what goes down baby

i'm floating high and my feet don't touch the ground

i'd take advantage but i can't see through this charade

so don't you don't you go make it harder than hell

don't go making promises don't go making promises

when it comes down to the making

you better be damned sure you can take it hey baby

don't go making promises don't go making promises

cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep

there's a time to play a king and a time to be a theif

cause if your making all these promises you know you cannot keep

you know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up

a fool a fool a lonely sorry fool

oh baby cause i told you baby
