“I’ll Never”
lyrics and music by Meg Baier

(em –G – am – C)
Capo 3 optional

The air is surprising clear
No cigarette smokers here
And Susie is telling the story of her latest online dating love
And most of us thinking the same thing - when is love going to happen to me?

I’ll never…

We’re different kinds of strong, some working hard, and hard working moms
And Betty is showing photos of her kid to her once a month Sunday dinner friends
And all of us grinning from cheek to cheek, wondering if someday that will be me?

And I’ll never get it together in time for my love to find me all of my friends are taken or thoroughly excused for the absence of love and searching, searching for you

There’s three separate lists, for all the plans and recipes that make us fit
Boxes of old clothes to prove, we used to slide into those jeans and could still move
And some of us feeling the same thing – when will I feel like I’m ready?

And I’ll never get it together in time for my love to find me all of my friends are taken or thoroughly excused for the absence of love and searching, searching for you

(am – g – c- Fmaj7 (D last time))
Now that we’re older
Our stories seem so similar
Everyone’s been a mile or two in different pairs of shoes
Everyone’s has a story about Thailand or Peru

And Lucy ‘s repeating the story of
Her long lost secret ex-husband
I’m in the kitchen overhearing,
Judy tell Susie she doesn’t feel free
