D         E                  A
Tired of running from tomorrow
D       E                 A
I lie awake on sleepless nights
D      E             F#m
Will I ever know the answer to the writing on the wall?
D      E              A
Will I ever find the light?

D                  E                  A
These days when struggle's all you know
D                  E                  A
These days when trouble's at your door
D                                  E
You're doing your thing trying to cope
        F#m
Don't hold onto pain let it go
         D                    E                      A
'Cause never comes only when never is all that you know

            D         E              A
You gotta take the chance right in front of you
           D          E             F#m
You gotta make your plans, whatcha gonna do?
               D         E                    A               F#m
This could be your last dance, so you better leave it on the floor
             D                E                A
'Cause only never comes when never's all you know

D           E            A
Say my name, say my name, say my name, say my name
Never's all you know
D           E            A
Say my name, say my name, say my name
Never's all you know
D           E            F#m
Say my name, say my name, say my name, say my name
Never's all you know
D           E            A
Say my name, say my name, say my name
Never's all you know

I can never know forever
Let it go without a fight
I've been searching for the answer to the writing on the wall
I've been looking for the light

These days when struggle's all you know
These days when trouble's at your door
You're doing your thing trying to cope
Don't hold onto pain let it go
'Cause never comes only when never is all that you know

Chorus

Say my name, say my name, say my name, say my name
Never's all you know
Say my name, say my name, say my name
Never's all you know
Say my name, say my name, say my name, say my name
Never's all you know
Say my name, say my name, say my name
Never's all you know
Say my name, say my name, say my name, say my name
Never's all you know
Say my name, say my name, say my name
Never's all you know
Say my name, say my name, say my name, say my name
Never's all you know
Say my name, say my name, say my name
Never's all you know
