Standard (EADGBE)

 well don't you know i need a little indulgence

 listen to the hunter becoming hunted

 every day there's a million advances

 don't be too forceful you'll ruin your chances

 well don't you know that time is a broken glass

that splinters against the wall

 but the picture is coming back now baby

and i want to take it all

Chorus

 don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep

 there's a time to play a king and a time to be a thief

 cause if your making all these promises you know you cannot keep

 you know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone

 so let your body move a little bit closer

 silent like the sound proceeding a cyclone

 don't you know that powerful thinking

 is a force you don't want to relinquish

well don't you know that

they say that hanging on will justify the wait

 but patience and elated wisdom don't share a common phrase

(Chorus)

well i'm only hanging on for what goes down baby

i'm floating high and my feet don't touch the ground

i'd take advantage but i can't see through this charade

so don't you don't you go make it harder than hell

don't go making promises don't go making promises

 when it comes down to the making

 you better be damned sure you can take it hey baby

 don't go making promises don't go making promises

 cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep

 there's a time to play a king and a time to be a theif

 cause if your making all these promises you know you cannot keep

 you know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up

 a fool a fool a lonely sorry fool

 oh baby cause i told you baby
