Promise - Slash, Chris Cornell

The first time I ever saw you

You had that faraway look in your eyes

And heaven’s eyes shined down upon you

And the whole room filled up with life

Now the cruel world, it’s gonna try & change you

Try to hang you up and mess with your pride

Now the rich can just try to chain you

You got to keep your fire burning inside

Promise me you won’t let them,

Put out your fire, (x2) / (repeat)

Now sometimes the world tries to slap you

And it seems to love watching you fall

I won’t lie to you, it’s gonna happen,

You got to pick yourself up and move on

-Which star will I be thinking of tonight?

-Tonight (- repeat)

Promise me you won’t let them,

Put out your fire, (x2)

You won’t let them — Put out your fire, mise me -(Why don’t you?) — (x4)
