Never Meant To Be Chords

(ver. 1)
Tony Rice
[Intro]
C   G   F   C   F   C   G   Am   Em   Am G Am   F   C   G   C

[Verse 1]
        C               G                      F             C
In the darkness of the night, all I hear is a ringing in my ears
       F                  C                 G
And my eyes are full of tears that I can't see
          Am                  Em             Am          G        Am
And I'll see comfort in bad places, and I'm trying to forget the faces
         F                 C                G              C
But the many friends will say, that it was never meant to be

[Chorus]
 C                                  G                   F              C
And you can always write it off by saying, that it was never meant to be
  F                          C            G
Though you once told me we'd always be as one.
              Am               Em          Am        G    Am
And then you wish me a better day, as you turn your back away
           F              C               G              C
Then you write it off by saying, "it was never meant to be."

[Interlude]
C   G   F   C   F   C   G   Am   Em   Am G Am   F   C   G   C

[Verse 2]
 C                               G                    F          C
Well, it left some damage in my wake, but I have the liberty to take the time to say
F         C              G
"It ain't all my fault alone”
              Am                           Em        Am    G        Am
I've been deceived and I've been forced to leave, my anger and my greaving
      F                    C              G               C
In a heart that’s still believing, it was always meant to be."

[Chorus]
 C                                  G                   F              C
And you can always write it off by saying, that it was never meant to be
  F                          C            G
Though you once told me we'd always be as one.
              Am               Em          Am        G    Am
And then you wish me a better day, as you turn your back away
           F              C               G              C
Then you write it off by saying, "it was never meant to be."

[Interlude]
C   G   F   C   F   C   G   Am   Em   Am G Am   F   C   G   C

[Verse 2]
C                                  G                   F              C
You have turned your beauty and your charme into a weapon of badly harm, the man you said,
  F                          C            G
Was the best friend you've been knowing
              Am               Em          Am        G    Am
Then, your ways are justified, by stubborn foolish pride.
           F              C               G              C
And the price is payed by me, because that’s the way it’s meant to be.

[Chorus]
C                                  G                   F              C
And you can always write it off by saying, that it was never meant to be
  F                          C            G
Though you once told me we'd always be as one.
              Am               Em          Am        G    Am
And then you wish me a better day, as you turn your back away
           F              C               G              C
Then you write it off by saying, "it was never meant to be."

[Interlude]
C   G   F   C   F   C   G   Am   Em   Am G Am   F   C   G   C

[Verse 3]
C                                  G                   F              C
There is no dignity in remaining; love ain't worth retaining, anymore
  F                          C            G
So let’s just do each other in.
              Am               Em          Am        G    Am
And leave the sadness and the fury, the judgement of a jury
           F              C               G              C
And the signature that’s saying, "it was never meant to be."

[Chorus]
 C                                  G                   F              C
And you can always write it off by saying, that it was never meant to be
  F                          C            G
Though you once told me we'd always be as one.
              Am               Em          Am        G    Am
And then you wish me a better day, as you turn your back away
           F              C               G              C
Then you write it off by saying, "it was never meant to be."

[Outro]
              Am               Em          Am        G    Am
And then you wish me a better day, as you turn your back away
           F              C               G              G    G    G    C
Then you write it off by saying, "it was never meant to be."
