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.
