Never Gonna Say Goodbye chords by Dawes

• Capo on 5th

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"
