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