Chords

This song has a lot of intricate finger picking and elaborate chords that Taylor is well known for, so this is more of a simple touch on this beautiful song. I really hope someone comes along and makes a more sophisticated version! [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"
