(F)Prom is es, (G)prom is es, (Em7)I’m all through with (Bb)prom is es, (C)prom is es, (Am7)now!

I don’t know (Gm7)how

(Gm7)I got the nerve

to walk (Fmaj7)out.

If I (Bbmaj7)shout, re mem ber

I feel free.

(Abmaj7)Now I can look at my (Ab)self

and be (Gm7)proud.

I’m (C9)laugh ing out (Fmaj7)loud!

Oh, (F)prom is es, (G)prom is es, (Em7)this is where those (Bb)prom is es, (C)prom is es, (Am7)end!

I won’t pre (Gm7)tend

(Gm7)that what was wrong

can be (Fmaj7)right.

Ev ’ry (Bbmaj7)night I’ll sleep now.

No more lies.

(Abmaj7)Things that I prom ised my (Ab)self

fell a (Gm7)part,

but (C9)I found my (Fmaj7)heart.

Oh,

(F)Prom is es, (G)their kind of (Bb)prom is es (C)can just de stroy your (Am7)life.

Oh, (F)prom is es, (G)those kind of (Bb)prom is es (C)take all the joy from (Am7)life!

Oh, (F)prom is es, (G)prom is es, (Bb)my kind of (C)prom is es

(CN.C.)can lead to (Fmaj7)joy

and (F6/9)hope

and (Cm7)love,
