Song: Never Is A Promise By: Fiona Apple From The Album: Tidal [Intro] Am G F C Gm F C Am G F C Gm F C
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            Dm     E                 Dm
I'll never glow - the way that you glow

Gm                  F                     E         Dm
Your presence dominates the judgments made on you

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 feelings swell and stretch; I see from greater heights

F                             Dm                         Am       C
I understand what I am still too proud to mention - to you

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                    Am                       G        Am
But never is a promise, and you can't afford to lie
Em G F C Gm F C Am G F C F C
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                 Dm  E              Dm
You'll never feel the heat of this soul

F                                 Dm                 C   
My fever burns me deeper than I've ever shown - to you

C                       F                          Am           G
You'll say, Don't fear your dreams, it's easier than it seems

C                       F                  Am            G
You'll say you'd never let me fall from hopes so high

F                    Am                       G         Am
But never is a promise, and you can't afford to lie
G F C Gm F C Am G F C Gm F C
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                 Dm        E               Dm
You'll never hear the message I give

F                                         Dm                C
You'll say it looks as though I might give up this fight

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 feelings swell and stretch; I see from greater heights

F                           Dm                      C
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                    Am   G                 F       G       Am  G  F C  Am
But never is a pro - mise and I'll never need a lie
