You'll never see the courage I know

I'll never glow - the way that you glow

My feelings swell and stretch; I see from greater heights

The skin of my emotions lies beneath my own

You'll never feel   the heat of this soul

My fever burns me deeper than I've ever shown - to you
[Chorus]
C                Fadd9             Am            G7

C               Fadd9          Am               G6
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

You'll never hear   the message I give

You'll say it looks as though I might give up this fight
[Bridge]

But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights

Asus2           G6/9      Fmaj7#11     C
The shades and shadows undulate in my perception

I realize what I am now too smart to mention - to you

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
[Outro] Am G F Em C B Bb7 Am
