Tom: Am
Am F
I dream a day that god will surface
Am F
To retrieve his nails and open your heart.
Am F
You'll say you're mine for the ages
Am F
Just open your heart
[Chorus]
F
and say
D Am
"I swear on the cross"
G
Can you promise this
F
to the grave
D Am
you'll take my name
G
can you promise me?
[Instrumental]
F
[Verse 2]
Am F
Overseas and over mountains
Am F
A thousand years I've waited for her
Am F
To say the lines "from this day forward"
Am F
Just open your heart
[Chorus]
F
and say
D Am
"I swear on the cross"
G
Can you promise this
F
to the grave
D Am
you'll take my name
G
can you promise me?
[Bridge]
F D Am G
[Verse]
F D Am G
All this time I've prayed for this day to come true,
F D Am G
'Cause no one knows how deep the waves we waded through.
F D Am G
I wish I could take your hand and make it true.
F D Am G
'Cause no one knows how far apart we stayed to get through.
F D Am G
I wish I could take your hand and make it true.
F D Am G
'Cause no one knows how far apart we stay to get through.
[Chorus]
F
Can you say
D Am
"I swear on the cross"
G
Can you promise this
F
to the grave
D Am
you'll take my name
G
can you promise me?
