Never Be Mine
By Kate Bush
From 1989's "The Sensual World"
Cm7sus4 Bbadd9
I look at you and see
Gm7sus4 Cm7sus4
My life that might have been.
Cm Bb Gm7
Your face just ghostly in the smoke.
Abmaj9 Bbsus2
They're setting fire to the cornfields
Abmaj9 Bbsus2+4
As you're taking me home.
Cm7sus4 Bbadd9
The smell of burning fields
Fmsus4 Gm7sus4
Will now mean you and here.
Cm Bbadd9 Fm7
This is where I want to be.
Gm7 Cm
This is what I need.
Bbadd9 Ab
This is where I want to be.
Gm7 Cm
This is what I need.
Bbadd9
This is where I want to be,
Fm7 Fm7 Eb/G Bb
But I know that this will never be mine.
Fm7 Eb/G Bb Fm7 Eb/G
Ooh, the thrill and the hurting.
Bb
The thrill and the hurting.
Fm7 Eb/G Bb Fm7sus4
I know that this will never be mine.
Cm Bbadd9
I want you as the dream,
Abadd9 Bbadd9
Not the reality.
Cm Bbadd9 Gm7
That clumsy goodbye-kiss could fool me,
Abmaj9 Bbsus2
But I'm looking back over my shoulder
Gm7
At you, happy without me.
(Repeat chorus)
This is where I want to be.
This is what I need.
This is where I want to be.
This is what I need.
This is where I want to be,
But I know that this will never be mine.
Ooh, the thrill and the hurting
Will never be mine.
The thrill and the hurting,
It will never be mine.
It can never be.
Fm7 Eb/G Bb Fm7 Eb/G Bb
The thrill and the hurting
Ad libs- to end:
