Set It Off - I Promise Chords & Tabs
Set It Off - I Promise Chords
Hey everyone, this is my first tab, but I'm pretty sure it's Legit.
First think you need to do is tune your guitar a half step down.
So the guitar is D# G# C# F# A# D#
If you don't have a tuner you dont have to tune it down but it wont match the
song, it'll be a half step higher. (or sharp)
This isnt the way Cody actually plays the song, but it is a moderation.
I'm not sure of all the chord names because they are sus or 7 or somthing so I'll
just put a chord chart.
G D/F# Em7 C7 D
e|--3-----| e|--3-----| e|--3-----| e|--3-----| e|--2-----|
B|--3-----| B|--3-----| B|--3-----| B|--3-----| e|--3-----|
G|--------| G|--2-----| G|--------| G|--------| e|--2-----|
D|--------| D|--------| D|--2-----| D|--2-----| e|--------|
A|--2-----| A|--------| A|--2-----| A|--3-----| e|--------|
E|--3-----| E|--2-----| E|--------| E|--------| e|--------|
Those are the chords you play the whole time, just in a different order a points.
I'm sure you notice there is a picking pattern at the beginning.
its like this...
Each pattern is done 2 times
e|-------3--| e|------3---| e|------3---| then you strum both
B|-------3--| B|------3---| B|------3---| C7 and D
G|-------0--| G|------2---| G|---0--0---|
D|---0---0--| D|---0--0---| D|----2-2---|
A|-----2----| A|----0-----| A|--2-------|
E|--3-------| E|--2-------| E|----------|
Alright now to where it all goes. (:

I'm not over you, I promise
Em7
This word they call love
Come push or to shove
C7 D
I ment it and now I'm in tears, my love.
I keep telling myself that its what what it seems
and I wish that wouldn't keep haunting my dreams
I'll shoot out of bed and wake up in a sweat
How could I forget?
I imagined the worse when we were on the phone,
As you sat there and told me that you were alone
I could see him I know how me makes you behave
That this wasnt the girl that I kissed on our date
But I'll wait for you
Even though you dont want me to because
I'm not over you, I promise
This word they call love come push or to shove
I ment it and now I'm in tears
Because I'm not over you, I promise
You wont see this face show up at your place
Although I'm in town I'll stay here, my love
G
And I should know better, give up while I can
D/F#
And prove to the world that I'll be my own man
Em7
You broke me and took me along for the ride
C7 D
And this pain that you left me should make me subside but I'm
not over you, I promise
This word they call love come push or to shove
I ment it and now I'm in tears
Because I'm not over you, I promise
You wont see this face show up at your place
Although I'm in town I'll stay here, my love
Because I'm not over you, I promise
This word they call love come push or to shove,
I ment it and now I'm in tears, My love
