INTRO : Am G F C Gm F C twice
VERSE:
Gm F Gm F
you'll never see the courage I know
Gm F Gm F
its colors' richness won't appear within your view
E7 Dm E7 Dm
I'll never glow the way that you glow
Gm F E7 Dm
your presence dominates the judgements made on you
PRECHORUS:
Am G F C
but as the scenery grows I see in different lights
Am G F C
the shades and shadows undulate in my perception
Am G F C
my feeling swell and stretch I see from greater heights
C(bass F E D) Bb9
I understand what I am still too proud to mention to you
CHORUS:
C F Am G
you'll say you understand but you don't understand
C F Am G
you'll say you'd never give up seeing eye to eye
F Dm F / G Am
but never is a promise and you can't afford to lie
Gm F (4times)
you'll never touch these things that I hold
the skin of my emotions lies beneath my own
E7 Dm (2 times)
you'll never feel the heat of this soul
C(bass F Eb D) Bb
my fever burns me deeper than I've ever shown to you
(Chorus chords)
you'll say don't fear your dreams it's easier than it seems
you'll say you'd never let me fall from hopes so high
but never is a promise and you can't afford to lie
(verse chords)
you'll never live the life that I live
I'll never live the life that wakes me in the night
you'll never hear the message I give
you'll say it looks as though I might give up this fight
(Pre-chorus chords)
but as the scenery grows I see in different lights
the shades and shadows undulate in my perception
my feeling swell and stretch I see from greater heights
I realize what I am now too smart to mention to you
C F Am G
you'll say you understand you'll never understand
C F Am G
I'll say I'll never wake up knowing how or why
C F Am G
I don't know what to believe in you don't know who I am
C F Am G
you'll say I need appeasing when I start to cry
F Dm F G (F Am/G F G) Am/G/F/C B7 Bb7 Am
but never is a promise and I'll never need a lie.
