_ _ And what I am [D] still too proud [C#] to mention _ to [C] _ _ _ you
[C] You say [F] you _ understand, [Am] _ _ _
_ [G] _ understand
_ [C] _ You [F] say you never give up [Am] seeing eye [G] to eye
_ _ But [F] never _ [Dm] is a promise and [F] you can't [G] afford to _ [Am] _
lie

_ _ [Gm] _ _ You [F] never touch [Gm] _ _ these things [F] that I hold
_ [Gm] _ The skin [F] of my [Gm] emotions lies beneath [F] my _ own
[E] _ You [Dm] never feel [E] _ the heat [Dm] of this soil _
My [C] fever burns me deeper than [Dm] I've ever [C#] shown
_ _ To _ _ [C] you, you [F] say don't fear your [Am] dreams
It's _ [G] easier than it seems
[C] _ You [F] say you never let [Am] me fall from hopes [G] so high _
But [F] never _ [Dm] is a promise [F] and you can't [G] afford [Am] to lie

_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [F] You'll never _ live [Gm] this life [F] that I live
_ [Gm] _ _ _ I'll [F] never live the life [Gm] that wakes me in [F] the _ night
[E] _ You never [Dm] hear _ [E] _ the [Dm] message I give
[C] You say it looks as [D] though I might give [C#] up this fight _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ But [Em] as the secret [B] grows I see in different [C] _
[A] lights
[E] The shades [Em] and shadows [F] undulate in my [C] perception
_ _ [E] My [Em] feelings swell and stretch as [F] deep from grey to [C]
white
_ I _ realize what I am [A] now, too smart to [C#] mention _ _ [G] to _ _
_ _ [C] you
You [F] say you understand, [Am] _ _ _ _ [G] _
understand
_ [C] _ I say [F] I'll never wake up [Am] knowing how [G] or why
[F] _ _ [C] I don't [F] know what to believe [Am] in
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ You say [F] I need a pleasing [Am]
when I start to [G] cry _ _
But [F] _ _ _ [Dm] never _ _ _ is [Am] a _ _ [G] promise
_ _ And [F] I'll _ _ _ never [G] need _ a _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ [G] _ _ [F] friend
