[CAPO 3RD FD T]
A D A
I had dreams that were bigger than the Montana sky
A D
And we were gonna do great in Great Falls
E E/F# E
I just knew we were this time
D
But when winter finally broke, so were we
A D
You'll never know how bad that hurt
A E
'Cause this ain't what I meant
Esus A
When I promised you the world
A
I lost the farm in Kansas
D A
Along with a lot of pride
Then I almost lost my life
D E Esus E
Down in that West Virginia mine
D
And that motel room in Memphis
A D
Was a long way from diamonds and pearls
A
And that sure ain't what I meant
E Esus A A7
When I promised you the world
Bm
I swear your love is stronger
D A
Than any dream of mine I've ever drug you through
Bm
And I swear I wasn't lyin'
D E E/F# E
They just never did come true
A
You've always bet on this old gambler
D A D
Every time I gave the wheel a whirl
A
But this ain't what I meant
E Esus A
When I promised you the world
