Verse
G# C# G# D#
I never could admit when I was wrong then
D#7 G#
Even when I felt it in my bones
G# C# G# D#
I always thought it meant I was a strong man
C# G#
I wondered why I was alone
[Verse 2]
G# C# G# D#
That's when she stepped out of the ether
D#7 G#
Right when I was ready for a dance
G# C# G# D#
She said "I don't know what I am doin' either
C# G#
"But I know when to take a chance"
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A#m Fm D#7
I never knew how to be scared
G# G#/G Fm G#/G C#
'Til I found somethin' I knew I couldn't lose
D#
And then the revelation trembled
D#7
From the tip of my own tongue
[Chorus 1]
G# C# G# D#
Like the last few boys at the Alamo
G# C# G# D#
Like Cusack holdin' that stereo
Fm C G# C#m
What Juliet hears from Romeo:
G# D# G#
"I'm never gonna say goodbye"
[Verse 3]
G# C# G# D#
There's not a way to someone's heart that she can't see
D#7 G#
She lives and loves with everything she's got
G# C# G# D#
My dark days showed me how to ask, "Why me?"
D#7 G#
She's shown me how to ask, "Why not?"
[Verse 4]
G# C# G# D#
She keeps a hopeful eye upon the future
D#7 G#
She finds a way to share that hope with me
G# C# G# D#
And the few times that she's met some sort of failure
D#7 G#
She wins a little back by laughin' at defeat
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A#m Fm D#7
I never knew what life could be
G# G#/G Fm G#/G C#
So it stands to reason why I can't go back
D#
And now a revelation trembles
D#7
From the bottom of my heart
[Chorus 2]
G# C# G# D#
And like the stock exchange for the billionaires
G# C# G# D#
Like a convert singin' his morning prayers
Fm C G# C#m
From the scientist to the polar bears:
G# D# G#
"I'm never gonna say goodbye"
[Chorus 1]
G# C# G# D#
Like those last few boys at the Alamo
G# C# G# D#
Like Cusack holdin' that stereo
Fm C G# C#m
What Juliet hears from Romeo:
G# D#7
"I'm never gonna say
G# D#7
"Don't make me say
G# D# G#
"I'm never gonna say goodbye"
