Verse
D G D A
I never could admit when I was wrong then
A7 D
Even when I felt it in my bones
D G D A
I always thought it meant I was a strong man
G D
I wondered why I was alone
[Verse 2]
D G D A
That's when she stepped out of the ether
A7 D
Right when I was ready for a dance
D G D A
She said "I don't know what I am doin' either
G D
"But I know when to take a chance"
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em Bm A7
I never knew how to be scared
D D/C# Bm D/C# G
'Til I found somethin' I knew I couldn't lose
A
And then the revelation trembled
A7
From the tip of my own tongue
[Chorus 1]
D G D A
Like the last few boys at the Alamo
D G D A
Like Cusack holdin' that stereo
Bm F# D Gm
What Juliet hears from Romeo:
D A D
"I'm never gonna say goodbye"
[Verse 3]
D G D A
There's not a way to someone's heart that she can't see
A7 D
She lives and loves with everything she's got
D G D A
My dark days showed me how to ask, "Why me?"
A7 D
She's shown me how to ask, "Why not?"
[Verse 4]
D G D A
She keeps a hopeful eye upon the future
A7 D
She finds a way to share that hope with me
D G D A
And the few times that she's met some sort of failure
A7 D
She wins a little back by laughin' at defeat
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em Bm A7
I never knew what life could be
D D/C# Bm D/C# G
So it stands to reason why I can't go back
A
And now a revelation trembles
A7
From the bottom of my heart
[Chorus 2]
D G D A
And like the stock exchange for the billionaires
D G D A
Like a convert singin' his morning prayers
Bm F# D Gm
From the scientist to the polar bears:
D A D
"I'm never gonna say goodbye"
[Chorus 1]
D G D A
Like those last few boys at the Alamo
D G D A
Like Cusack holdin' that stereo
Bm F# D Gm
What Juliet hears from Romeo:
D A7
"I'm never gonna say
D A7
"Don't make me say
D A D
"I'm never gonna say goodbye"
