Intro: E B C#m A E B E Verse: E B E I'm a man of my word, I mean what I say A E B My pledge is my bond, that's just my way E B C#m When you've made a promise to someone who's gone A E B E Well that's when forever seems a little too long I'm a man of my word and I made you a vow I swore that I'd love you and I can't change that now They tell me I'm free to find someone new I just don't have the heart cause I gave mine to you Chorus: B A E When I said my love would last for all time E B And no one would take your place A E C#m If that promise was the last sound you heard A E B E Well you know I kept it I'm a man of my word I'm a man of my word and it's cost me so dear Cause those words are a prison without you here And I'll go to my grave with this torch held high But just once I wish I had told you a lie Chorus B A E When I said my love would last for all time E B And no one would take your place A E A If that promise was the last sound you heard A E B C#m Well you know I kept it I'm a man of my word A E B E Yes I'll always love you I'm a man of my word Outro=Intro
