Biography:
The Novel Ideas are a country folk quintet of friends from the great state of Massachusetts. Featuring the voices of three different songwriters, The Novel Ideas create a blend of pastoral, harmony driven, and plaintive Americana. They spent the past year playing shows in support of their debut album, “Home,” which was recorded in a barn in Jaffrey, NH. In June 2014 they released a 10" single "Lost on the Road", featuring two new songs and marking the band's first effort as a five piece.

Promise
Here we are now in the backyard On the warm ground out at sundown
E
But in twelve days I'll be halfway
E
Cross the world, I'm too tired to be afraid
Aadd4
You've got green eyes, I had foresight
E
When I said we'd be good I was so right
Aadd4
If we lay here, spend every day here
F#m Aadd4
Well our legs might take root and we'll grow dear
E Aadd4
I made a promise to
E
I made a promise to
E
I made a promise to you
F#m C#m A
(Break)
E Aadd4
I'd protect you if I had to
E
So the bad parts never get through
Aadd4
From the outside into your life
E
We can try but we might have some hard nights
Aadd4
Now we can't speak 'neath the pine trees
E
And I swear that there's air but I can't breathe
Aadd4
I need your heat, I've got cold feet
F#m Aadd4
It's the thought that still makes this so easy
E Aadd4
I made a promise to
E
I made a promise to
E
I made a promise to you
F#m C#m A
That we'd still feel brand new
E
That we'd still feel brand new
E
That we'd still feel something
F#m C#m A

E Aadd4 Bsus4 C#m7
Bsus4 E (x4)
She's not too fond of history
C#m7 Bsus4 E
Hearing loud of abrasive speech
C#m7 Bsus4 Aadd4
She's unique in the way she eats
C#m7 Bsus4 Aadd4
oh yeah she loves me
C#m7 Bsus4 E
Why she does hell I cannot say
C#m7 Bsus4 E
I can't seem to stay in one place
C#m7 Bsus4 Aadd4
Always gone and I'm far away
C#m7 Bsus4 Aadd4
from the smile on her face
C#m7 Bsus4 E
(Repeats throughout last section)
E Aadd4 Bsus4 C#m7
Bsus4 E (x6)
Was it something that I couldn't say?
Fast enough to get away
And though I tried to make a clean escape
You left me with an even break
And i think I saw myself in you
But I think you saw a proper fool
And I know we broke every rule
With everything we didn't do
I'll remember every day
If you remember every dumb mistake
That you made cause you were late
But its my fault I made you wait
In this city I cant speak
Well you know this place is killing me
And it's harder to believe
But it's hard enough to watch you leave
