Verse
G C G D
I never could admit when I was wrong then
D7 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
D7 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]
Am Em D7
I never knew how to be scared
G G/F# Em G/F# C
'Til I found somethin' I knew I couldn't lose
D
And then the revelation trembled
D7
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
Em B G Cm
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
D7 G
She lives and loves with everything she's got
G C G D
My dark days showed me how to ask, "Why me?"
D7 G
She's shown me how to ask, "Why not?"
[Verse 4]
G C G D
She keeps a hopeful eye upon the future
D7 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
D7 G
She wins a little back by laughin' at defeat
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Am Em D7
I never knew what life could be
G G/F# Em G/F# C
So it stands to reason why I can't go back
D
And now a revelation trembles
D7
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
Em B G Cm
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
Em B G Cm
What Juliet hears from Romeo:
G D7
"I'm never gonna say
G D7
"Don't make me say
G D G
"I'm never gonna say goodbye"
