Verse
A# D# A# F
I never could admit when I was wrong then
F7 A#
Even when I felt it in my bones
A# D# A# F
I always thought it meant I was a strong man
D# A#
I wondered why I was alone
[Verse 2]
A# D# A# F
That's when she stepped out of the ether
F7 A#
Right when I was ready for a dance
A# D# A# F
She said "I don't know what I am doin' either
D# A#
"But I know when to take a chance"
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Cm Gm F7
I never knew how to be scared
A# A#/A Gm A#/A D#
'Til I found somethin' I knew I couldn't lose
F
And then the revelation trembled
F7
From the tip of my own tongue
[Chorus 1]
A# D# A# F
Like the last few boys at the Alamo
A# D# A# F
Like Cusack holdin' that stereo
Gm D A# D#m
What Juliet hears from Romeo:
A# F A#
"I'm never gonna say goodbye"
[Verse 3]
A# D# A# F
There's not a way to someone's heart that she can't see
F7 A#
She lives and loves with everything she's got
A# D# A# F
My dark days showed me how to ask, "Why me?"
F7 A#
She's shown me how to ask, "Why not?"
[Verse 4]
A# D# A# F
She keeps a hopeful eye upon the future
F7 A#
She finds a way to share that hope with me
A# D# A# F
And the few times that she's met some sort of failure
F7 A#
She wins a little back by laughin' at defeat
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Cm Gm F7
I never knew what life could be
A# A#/A Gm A#/A D#
So it stands to reason why I can't go back
F
And now a revelation trembles
F7
From the bottom of my heart
[Chorus 2]
A# D# A# F
And like the stock exchange for the billionaires
A# D# A# F
Like a convert singin' his morning prayers
Gm D A# D#m
From the scientist to the polar bears:
A# F A#
"I'm never gonna say goodbye"
[Chorus 1]
A# D# A# F
Like those last few boys at the Alamo
A# D# A# F
Like Cusack holdin' that stereo
Gm D A# D#m
What Juliet hears from Romeo:
A# F7
"I'm never gonna say
A# F7
"Don't make me say
A# F A#
"I'm never gonna say goodbye"
