Pat Benatar


Tom: E

E                               A
Never again, Isn't that what you said? 
       E
You've been through this before 
                                        A
This time you swore you'd think with your head 
A                         C#m
No one, would ever have you again 
        A
And if takin' was gonna get done 
                       B
You'd decide where and when 

              C#m    B   A
Just when you think you got it down 
            E                A
Your heart securely tied and bound 
             F#m      A   B  C#m Riff: G# A G# C#m G# A F# A F# A
They whisper, promises in the dark 

E                                            A
Armed and ready you fought love battles in the night 
   E                                       A
But too many opponents made you weary of the fight 
A                                    C#m
Blinded by passion, you foolishly let someone in 
         A
All the warnings went off in your head 
                   B
Still you had to give in 

             C#m    B   A
Just when you think you got it down 
            E            A
Resistance no where to be found 
            F#m       A  B  C#m Riff: G# A G# C#m G# A F# A F# A
They whisper, promises in the dark 

     A    B                    F#
But promises, you know what there for 
         E                 F#
It sounds so convincing, but you heard it before 
       A      B            C#m
Cause talk is cheap and you gotta be sure 
      C#m  C#m   C#m  C#m
And so you put up your guard 
           B                A     B      C#m
And you try to be hard but your heart says try again 
 LEAD 
Riff: G# A G# C#m G# A F# A F# A 

  E                                           A
You desperately search for a way to conquer the fear 
                                                                                        
  E                                                A
No line of attack has been p lanned to fight back the tears 
     A                            C#m
Where brave and restless dreams are both won and lost 
       A                                         B
On the edge is where it seems it's well worth the cost 
               C#m   B   A
Just when you think you got it down 
               E            A
Your heart in pieces on the ground 
               F#m    A   B  C#m Riff: G# A G# C#m G# A F# A F# A
They whisper, promises in the dark
