Verse 1:
AAs we stood there older than men
DAnd younger than the boys (that's right)
AWe were as still as the wind
DThat blows on a hot august night
Verse 2:
AAnd you were lonesome As a jukebox
DBut deadly just the same
AI could be as gentle as a newborn
DThen spit into the eye of a hurricane
Pre Chorus:
EAnd we knew how to laugh
DAnd we knew how to Acry
EYeah, we sure knew how to live
BBut we don't eveEr
Chorus (With Fill):
ANever say dieD
ANever say dieD
Verse 3:
AI guess you'd say we had a pact
DThese words we knew so well (that's right)
AStill they remained unspoken
DAnd we'd take them to the fiery Gates of hell
Pre Chorus:
EOnce i was afraid of love
DBut when it's your brother AThose things change
E'cause love is just another word For trust
BSo hear me when i say
ENever say
Chorus (No Fill):
Adie Never say
Dno You got to look them in
Athe eye And don't let gDo
EWhen it's your own blood you'll bleed
DAnd your own tears yoAu'll cry
EWhen you're brought up to believe
BThat it's the strong who survive
ENever say dieA
