Tom: A 

Intro ( A B D ) 

                  A                      D
As we stood there older than the men and younger than the boys 
A                                            D
We were as still as the wind that blows on a hot August night 
             A                         D
And you were lonesome as a jukebox but deadly just the same 
              A                                      D
I could be as gentle as a newborn then spit into the eye of a hurricane 
       E                         D           A
And we knew how to laugh, and we knew how to cry 
              E                             D
Yeah, we sure knew how to live but we don't ever never say die 
          A
Never say die 
              A                        D
I guess you'd say we had a pact, these words we knew so well 
           A                                         D
Still they remained unspoken and we'd take?em to the fiery gates of hell 
       E
Once I was afraid of love 
                   D                    A
But when it's your brother those things change 
       E                                      D              E
'Cause love is just another word for trust so hear me when I say 
          A              D
Never say die, never say no 
           A                                  D
You got to look them in the eye and don't let go 
               E
When it's your own blood you're bleeding 
         D             A
And your own tears you cry 
            E                                   D             E
When you're brought up to believe that it's the strong who survive 
          A
Never say die 

Solo 
          E                           D                   A
Yeah, and we could run like lightning through the pouring rain 
             E                                 D            A
And we'll be standing like a soldier who comes marchin?home again 
                                               D
They ask what it is that I want written on the gravestone where I'll lie 
               A                                 D
Tell them it's just my bones that died there, so save the tears they'll cry 
   E                                D                 A
My spirit is still riding somewhere somewhere in this night 
          E
When it's these three words that come to me 
     D                   E
As I kiss this world goodbye 
          A              D
Never say die, never say no 
           A                                  D
You got to look them in the eye and don't let go 
               E
When it's your own blood you're bleeding 
         D             A
And your own tears you cry 
            E                                   D             E
When you're brought up to believe that it's the strong who survive 
          A
Never say die
