(C) This old Buick's like a needle on a compass 
(Am) Pointed due west 
(F) I remember her smile like June sunflowers 
(C) And the look of her body as she slipped out of (F) that dress 
(Dm7) God, I'm such a (F) mess 
(C) Never a mornin' person, but that (Am) girl's still in bed 
(F) The sheets are tanglin' - her little arm is danglin' 
(C) The last dream from her pretty (Dm7) head 
I told her I was (F) leavin' 
She didn't believe the words I (F) said 

  I ain't ever (C) goin' 
  I ain't ever (Am) goin' 
  I ain't ever (F) goin' 
  Back there, a(C)gain 

She'll put on her makeup and drink from her tea cup 
Glance at that silver frame 
See, I took our picture and then it'll hit her 
She'll cry out with pain 
Maybe, whisper my name 

Repeat Chorus 

  No one's gonna (C) make me 
  Nothing's gonna (Am) take me 
  I ain't ever (F) goin'  
  Back there, a(C)gain 

Now, (Bb) don't blame her mama - for makin' me promise 
Don't (C) come around here, no more 
She said, (Bb) 'maybe your life's gone to hell  
But, that's a (Dm7) tour of duty she didn't sign up (F) for' 

When you (C) can't save yourself, you save somebody else 
Maybe (Am) that's how you survive 
I'm (F) runnin' away so she don't have to see 
A life in (C) slow-motion suicide 
You throw in the towl - they call you a coward 
Tell ya - (Am) fight, don't cut and run 
(F) I ain't no hero, but the truth is I know 
(Dm7) It's the bravest thing I've ever (F) done 
The hardest part is knowing what we (Dm7) could have 
Shoud have be(F)come 

  I ain't ever (C) goin' 
  I ain't ever (Am) goin' 
  I ain't ever (F) goin' 

     (PAUSE......) 
      
  No one's gonna (C) make me  
  Nothing's gonna (Am) take me 
  I ain't ever (F) goin' 
  (Dm7) Goin'  
  To (F) break her heart, a(C)gain
