Verse
E A E B
I never could admit when I was wrong then
B7 E
Even when I felt it in my bones
E A E B
I always thought it meant I was a strong man
A E
I wondered why I was alone
[Verse 2]
E A E B
That's when she stepped out of the ether
B7 E
Right when I was ready for a dance
E A E B
She said "I don't know what I am doin' either
A E
"But I know when to take a chance"
[Pre-Chorus 1]
F#m C#m B7
I never knew how to be scared
E E/D# C#m E/D# A
'Til I found somethin' I knew I couldn't lose
B
And then the revelation trembled
B7
From the tip of my own tongue
[Chorus 1]
E A E B
Like the last few boys at the Alamo
E A E B
Like Cusack holdin' that stereo
C#m G# E Am
What Juliet hears from Romeo:
E B E
"I'm never gonna say goodbye"
[Verse 3]
E A E B
There's not a way to someone's heart that she can't see
B7 E
She lives and loves with everything she's got
E A E B
My dark days showed me how to ask, "Why me?"
B7 E
She's shown me how to ask, "Why not?"
[Verse 4]
E A E B
She keeps a hopeful eye upon the future
B7 E
She finds a way to share that hope with me
E A E B
And the few times that she's met some sort of failure
B7 E
She wins a little back by laughin' at defeat
[Pre-Chorus 2]
F#m C#m B7
I never knew what life could be
E E/D# C#m E/D# A
So it stands to reason why I can't go back
B
And now a revelation trembles
B7
From the bottom of my heart
[Chorus 2]
E A E B
And like the stock exchange for the billionaires
E A E B
Like a convert singin' his morning prayers
C#m G# E Am
From the scientist to the polar bears:
E B E
"I'm never gonna say goodbye"
[Chorus 1]
E A E B
Like those last few boys at the Alamo
E A E B
Like Cusack holdin' that stereo
C#m G# E Am
What Juliet hears from Romeo:
E B7
"I'm never gonna say
E B7
"Don't make me say
E B E
"I'm never gonna say goodbye"
