      F#m         E          B
I'm folding your love in my heart
        D         E
By the dawn I'll be gone
     F#m   E       B
The road keeps us apart
          D         E
For some time I'll be gone

      D          C#m        F#m         E
You promise to swallow the tears when I leave you
      D         C#m        F#m          E
You promise to follow the leads I will give you
     D              C#m          F#m            E
You said you would crawl in the dark from the laughter
     Bm                       C#m
You said you would long after me ever after

Chorus:
 A                  E                       F#m
My love will grow black if your heart gets stolen
      C#m                  E
Just promise to keep your heart
A                  E                       F#m
One day I'll come back if the door's still open
      C#m                  E     F#m Bm E F#m Bm E
Just promise to keep your heart broken

Days go by like the wind
And this life is too short
It makes no sense to give in
To release you from my thoughts

I promise to write you, I'll always remember
I promise I'll try to be back 'til December
I said I must go, I must face this disaster
I said I would come after you ever after

Chorus:
My love will grow black if your heart gets stolen
Just promise to keep your heart
One day I'll come back if the door's still open
Just promise to keep your heart broken

              Bm        E         F#m
If you just promise to keep your heart
  Bm         E               F#m
Promise to keep your heart broken
             Bm         E         F#m
If you just promise to keep your heart broken
F#m
Broken

Chorus:
My love will grow black if your heart gets stolen
Just promise to keep your heart
One day I'll come back if the door's still open
Just promise to keep your heart broken
Forever and after my love

Just promise to keep your heart broken
Just promise to keep your heart broken
