Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Intermediate

Verse 1:
C             F   C                     G
I never could admit when I was wrong then
G7                         C
Even when I felt it in my bones
C                   F   C                  G
I always thought it meant I was a strong man
F                    C
I wondered why I was alone

Verse 2:
C               F     C            G
That's when she stepped out of the ether
G7                           C
Right when I was ready for a dance
C                           F    C          G
She said "I don't know what I am doin' either
F                          C
"But I know when to take a chance"

Pre-Chorus 1:
Dm           Am          G7
I never knew how to be scared
C      C/B             Am      C/B          F
'Til I found somethin' I knew I couldn't lose
G
And then the revelation trembled
G7
From the tip of my own tongue

Chorus 1:
C                 F    C       G
Like the last few boys at the Alamo
C                 F     C       G
Like Cusack holdin' that stereo
Am          E          C         Fm
What Juliet hears from Romeo:
C          G         C
"I'm never gonna say goodbye"

Verse 3:
C             F                C                     G
There's not a way to someone's heart that she can't see
G7                                          C
She lives and loves with everything she's got
C                  F          C           G
My dark days showed me how to ask, "Why me?"
G7                                 C
She's shown me how to ask, "Why not?"

Verse 4:
C           F        C                G
She keeps a hopeful eye upon the future
G7                                      C
She finds a way to share that hope with me
C                      F       C                    G
And the few times that she's met some sort of failure
G7                                        C
She wins a little back by laughin' at defeat

Pre-Chorus 2:
Dm              Am          G7
I never knew what life could be
C         C/B          Am        C/B     F
So it stands to reason why I can't go back
G
And now a revelation trembles
G7
From the bottom of my heart

Chorus 2:
C                  F        C                  G
And like the stock exchange for the billionaires
C                  F        C             G
Like a convert singin' his morning prayers
Am               E            C       Fm
From the scientist to the polar bears:
C            G            C
"I'm never gonna say goodbye"

Chorus 1:
C             F        C          G
Like those last few boys at the Alamo
C           F       C         G
Like Cusack holdin' that stereo
Am          E        C      Fm
What Juliet hears from Romeo:
C                 G7
"I'm never gonna say
C               G7
"Don't make me say
C         G             C
"I'm never gonna say goodbye"
