As Hope And Promise Fade chords by Chris Cornell

Am    Dm   Am
as hope and promise fades
    Am Dm     Am
and the sun forgets to rise
  Dm       Am
I'm lonely and I'm thirsty
E
but it's better I stay dry
	   Am     Dm
No more than two drinks away
   Am
from crying

E Am x2

Am   Dm   Am
Stare into the glass
   Am     Dm   Am
and wait for the time to pass
  Dm        Am
And thank you for the offer
E
but you know I must decline
       Am     Dm
No more than two drinks away
   Am
from crying

   Dm      Dsus4 Dm
There used to be a time
       Am
When I could hold my head up high
  Dm       Dsus4   Dm
My life stretched out before me
E
and rivers flowed with wine
Dm Dsus4    Dm
and had my love beside me
Am
and everything was fine
  Dm         E
But now the ride is over
              Am
It's hard to say goodbye

  Am    Dm   Am
As hope and promise fade
  Am    Dm    Am
and midnight turns to day
  Dm        Am
I'd love to drown my sorrow
Em
but I cannot tell a lie
       Am     Dm
No more than two drinks away
   Am
