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