1ST VERSE:

                  E5
I was out in the cold
  G5          E5       A5
Alone in the night
E5                         G5          E5      A5
How could I carry on, felt so empty inside
C5                    A5
All you gave me were promises
C5                   B5
Nothing better than lies

                     E5
Told me how it could be
          G5        E5       A5
Showed me how to believe
       E5                        G5         E5       A5
But I just didn't realize it was all in my dreams

All you gave me were promises

And nothing better than lies
