Verse
F A# F C
I never could admit when I was wrong then
C7 F
Even when I felt it in my bones
F A# F C
I always thought it meant I was a strong man
A# F
I wondered why I was alone
[Verse 2]
F A# F C
That's when she stepped out of the ether
C7 F
Right when I was ready for a dance
F A# F C
She said "I don't know what I am doin' either
A# F
"But I know when to take a chance"
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Gm Dm C7
I never knew how to be scared
F F/E Dm F/E A#
'Til I found somethin' I knew I couldn't lose
C
And then the revelation trembled
C7
From the tip of my own tongue
[Chorus 1]
F A# F C
Like the last few boys at the Alamo
F A# F C
Like Cusack holdin' that stereo
Dm A F A#m
What Juliet hears from Romeo:
F C F
"I'm never gonna say goodbye"
[Verse 3]
F A# F C
There's not a way to someone's heart that she can't see
C7 F
She lives and loves with everything she's got
F A# F C
My dark days showed me how to ask, "Why me?"
C7 F
She's shown me how to ask, "Why not?"
[Verse 4]
F A# F C
She keeps a hopeful eye upon the future
C7 F
She finds a way to share that hope with me
F A# F C
And the few times that she's met some sort of failure
C7 F
She wins a little back by laughin' at defeat
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Gm Dm C7
I never knew what life could be
F F/E Dm F/E A#
So it stands to reason why I can't go back
C
And now a revelation trembles
C7
From the bottom of my heart
[Chorus 2]
F A# F C
And like the stock exchange for the billionaires
F A# F C
Like a convert singin' his morning prayers
Dm A F A#m
From the scientist to the polar bears:
F C F
"I'm never gonna say goodbye"
[Chorus 1]
F A# F C
Like those last few boys at the Alamo
F A# F C
Like Cusack holdin' that stereo
Dm A F A#m
What Juliet hears from Romeo:
F C7
"I'm never gonna say
F C7
"Don't make me say
F C F
"I'm never gonna say goodbye"
