"Empty Promises" - by Kristen Hall 1991 - from the CD "Fact And Fiction"  

Capo 1st fret

C  G  F  G  Repeat 3 times

C   G   F  G        C     G       F  G  
Bye bye,   hope you never find me

C    G    F  G      C      G       F   G
Your eyes    always will remind me
                      320013
         F             Gsus4  G      F           Gsus4  G
Like the car in my backyard,     the box I never built

       F                Gsus4  G        F             Gsus4  G
Fixing up just seems so hard,    the neglecting of my guilt


So long, hope I never see you
I'm strong, but I could never free you
If I tried with all my might, if I never shed a tear
I'd be quivering with fright, wishing I could disappear

CHORUS:
C                Bb       F        G
I'm weighing the fact and fiction

C            Bb         F           G                C G F G...
Diluting the truth with diction and empty promises


Bye bye, put the wind beneath your heels
Your eyes know exactly how I feel
Like the prosecutors knives, a virus that's contained
Like a cat with no more lives, just a memory remains

repeat chorus

Repeat intro then,

         F             Gsus4  G      F           Gsus4  G
Like the car in my backyard,     the box I never built

       F                Gsus4  G        F             Gsus4  G
Fixing up just seems so hard,    the neglecting of my guilt

Then repeat chorus again and go into intro chords and repeat while 
singing "empty promises" then end on C
