Chords for Fiona Apple - Sessions at west 54th: Never is a Promise (Live)

_ _ just absurdity of hopelessness. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Because there's just no need for hopelessness.
And it's just so easy to fall into.
And I've fallen into it so much.
I mean, I could forget about it two seconds from now
and be hopeless two seconds from now,
and that's what's ridiculous about it.
But anyway, I wrote this when I was 15,
and I felt like no one was ever going to listen to me.
_ _ And there was no chance. _
_ But never say never.
So this is called Never Is A Promise.

[E] The shades and [Em] shadows
[F] Undulate in my [G] perception _ _
[E] My [Em] feelings swell and stretch
I [F]

you

I don't know what to believe in
[Am] _ _
_ _ [G] _ Who I am _
_ You [F] say I need appeasing
[Am] When I start to [G] cry _
