Verse
A D A E
I never could admit when I was wrong then
E7 A
Even when I felt it in my bones
A D A E
I always thought it meant I was a strong man
D A
I wondered why I was alone
[Verse 2]
A D A E
That's when she stepped out of the ether
E7 A
Right when I was ready for a dance
A D A E
She said "I don't know what I am doin' either
D A
"But I know when to take a chance"
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Bm F#m E7
I never knew how to be scared
A A/G# F#m A/G# D
'Til I found somethin' I knew I couldn't lose
E
And then the revelation trembled
E7
From the tip of my own tongue
[Chorus 1]
A D A E
Like the last few boys at the Alamo
A D A E
Like Cusack holdin' that stereo
F#m C# A Dm
What Juliet hears from Romeo:
A E A
"I'm never gonna say goodbye"
[Verse 3]
A D A E
There's not a way to someone's heart that she can't see
E7 A
She lives and loves with everything she's got
A D A E
My dark days showed me how to ask, "Why me?"
E7 A
She's shown me how to ask, "Why not?"
[Verse 4]
A D A E
She keeps a hopeful eye upon the future
E7 A
She finds a way to share that hope with me
A D A E
And the few times that she's met some sort of failure
E7 A
She wins a little back by laughin' at defeat
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Bm F#m E7
I never knew what life could be
A A/G# F#m A/G# D
So it stands to reason why I can't go back
E
And now a revelation trembles
E7
From the bottom of my heart
[Chorus 2]
A D A E
And like the stock exchange for the billionaires
A D A E
Like a convert singin' his morning prayers
F#m C# A Dm
From the scientist to the polar bears:
A E A
"I'm never gonna say goodbye"
[Chorus 1]
A D A E
Like those last few boys at the Alamo
A D A E
Like Cusack holdin' that stereo
F#m C# A Dm
What Juliet hears from Romeo:
A E7
"I'm never gonna say
A E7
"Don't make me say
A E A
"I'm never gonna say goodbye"
