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:
