Verse 1:

A
As we stood there older than men
D
And younger than the boys (that's right)
A
We were as still as the wind
D
That blows on a hot august night

Verse 2:

A
And you were lonesome As a jukebox
D
But deadly just the same
A
I could be as gentle as a newborn
D
Then spit into the eye of a hurricane

Pre Chorus:

E
And we knew how to laugh
D                 A    
And we knew how to cry
E
Yeah, we sure knew how to live
B               E
But we don't ever

Chorus (With Fill):

A               D
Never say die

A               D
Never say die

Verse 3:

A
I guess you'd say we had a pact
D
These words we knew so well (that's right)
A
Still they remained unspoken
D
And we'd take them to the fiery Gates of hell

Pre Chorus:

E
Once i was afraid of love
D                          A
But when it's your brother Those things change
E
'cause love is just another word For trust
B                        
So hear me when i say
E         
Never say 

Chorus (No Fill):

A
die Never say 
D
no You got to look them in 
A                      D
the eye And don't let go

E
When it's your own blood you'll bleed
D                    A
And your own tears you'll cry
E
When you're brought up to believe
B
That it's the strong who survive
E            A
Never say die

A
They ask what it is that i want written
D
On the gravestone where I'll lie
A
Tell them it's just my bones That died there
D
So save the tears they'll cry

E
My spirit is still riding somewhere
D                   A
Somewhere in this night
E
When it's these three words that come to me
B                          E
As i kiss this world goodbye
