Chorus 1
G                          Dsus2
The promise of you

                       Asus2
It sleeps in the air

                      Em             G/F#     G
The air that I breathe

                                   Dsus2
And I know that it's true

                      Asus2
Don't have to convince myself to believe  


(Bsus4/D#      G6/B                        Asus2/C#)  [repeat 2x]    Bsus4/D#

          G6/B                       Asus2/C#     Bsus4/D#    G6/B        Asus2/C#    Bsus4/D#
What secrets sleep in the heart of a man

        G6/B                   Asus2/C#  
So much love wasted

                                             Bsus4/D#        G6/B                Asus2/C#     
Slip right through my hands

       Bsus4/D#                      G6/B                   
You see it in the eyes of the lonely

                                          Asus2/C#
As they make their weary way

Bsus4/D#                      G6/B
Shimmer in the eyes of longing

             Asus2/C#
I hear it say


Chorus 2
G                          Dsus2
The promise of you

                       Asus2
It sleeps in the air

                      Em                  G
The air that I breathe

                                   Dsus2
And I know that it's true

                      Asus2                                   (Bsus4/D#   G6/B       Asus2/C#)  [repeat 2x]   Bsus4/D#
Don't have to convince myself to believe...to believe

[repeat chords from first verse]
What secrets sleep in the heart of the night
In my dreams of salvation
Slipping out of sight
In the shimmering moments of the twilight
Closing up the shine
Whisper on the wind of a rescue
Savior in time


Chorus 3
G                          Dsus2
The promise of you

                       Asus2
It sleeps in the air

                      Em                  G
The air that I breathe

                                   Dsus2
And I know that it's true

                      Asus2                         CaddD   
Don't have to convince myself to believe


                 Dsus2
All this time

                G                                  Dsus2            CaddD
I've been fighting my own private wars

              Dsus2
All this time

                       Asus2                   Em
You were the peace I search for
