[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
E   E7      Dm Dm7 E   E7      Dm   Dm7
I'll never glow - the way that you glow
Gm11            F6           E       Emaj7    Dm Dm7
Your presence dominates the judgments made on you
 
[Bridge]
Asus2         G6/9          Fmaj7#11        C
But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights
Asus2           G6/9      Fmaj7#11       C
The shades and shadows undulate in my perception
Asus2         G6/9          Fmaj7#11        C
My feelings swell and stretch; I see from greater heights
Fsus4    C/E            Dm7               Dbmaj7b5
I understand what I am still too proud to mention - to you
 
[Chorus]
C              Fadd9     Am               G7
You'll say you understand, but you don't understand
C                Fadd9          Am           G6
You'll say you'd never give up seeing eye to eye
Fmaj7            Dm7             F       Gadd4
But never is a promise, and you can't afford to lie

Gm  F  C
Am G F C
Gm  F  C
 
[Verse]
Gm             F      Gm               F
You'll never touch - these things that I hold
Gm          F            Gm            F
The skin of my emotions lies beneath my own
E       E7    Dm Dm7 E   E7      Dm   Dm7
You'll never feel   the heat of this soul
Fsus4     C/E            Dm7           Dbmaj7b5
My fever burns me deeper than I've ever shown - to you
 
[Chorus]
C                Fadd9             Am            G7
You'll say, don't fear your dreams, it's easier than it seems
C               Fadd9          Am               G6
You'll say you'd never let me fall from hopes so high
Fmaj7            Dm7             F      Gadd4
But never is a promise, and you can't afford to lie

[Verse]
Gm             F   Gm             F
You'll never live the life that I live
Gm          F                   Gm             F
I'll never live the life that wakes me in the night
E    E7       Dm Dm7 E   E7    Dm  Dm7
You'll never hear   the message I give
Fsus4      C/E                  Dm7             Dbmaj7b5
You'll say it looks as though I might give up this fight
 
[Bridge]
Asus2         G6/9          Fmaj7#11        C
But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights
Asus2           G6/9      Fmaj7#11     C
The shades and shadows undulate in my perception
Asus2         G6/9          Fmaj7#11        C
My feelings swell and stretch; I see from greater heights
Fsus4    C/E        Dm7              Dbmaj7b5
I realize what I am now too smart to mention - to you
 
[Chorus]
C              Fadd9     Am               G7
You'll say you understand, you'll never understand
C             Fadd9           Am            G6
I'll say I'll never wake up knowing how or why
C            Fadd9            Am               G7
I don't know what to believe in, you don't know who I am
C               Fadd9           Am              G6
You'll say I'll need appeasing when I start to cry
Fmaj7            Dm7             F    Gadd4
But never is a promise, and I'll never need a lie
