[Verse 1]
Cm
In this proud land we grew up strong
Eb
We were wanted all along
Bb
I was taught to fight, taught to win
Cm
I never thought I could fail
Cm
No fight left or so it seems
Eb
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
Bb
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
Cm
But no one wants you when you lose
[Chorus 1]
Ab/F Eb/G Cm7/Ab
Don't give up - 'cos you have friends
Ab/F Eb/G Cm/Ab
Don't give up - you're not beaten yet
Ab/F Eb/G Ab Bb
Don't give up - I know you can make it good
[Verse 2]
Cm
Though I saw it all a-round
Eb
Never thought that I could be affected
Bb
Thought that we'd be the last to go
Cm
It is so strange the way things turn
Cm
Drove the night to-ward my home
Eb
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
Bb
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
Cm
The trees had burned down to the ground
[Chorus 2]
Ab/F Eb/G Cm7/Ab
don't give up - you still have us
Ab/F Eb/G Cm7/Ab
don't give up - we don't need much of anything
Ab/F Eb/G Ab Bm Eb
don't give up - 'cos somewhere there's a place where we belong
[Bridge]
Bb
Rest your head
Eb
You worry too much
Bb
It's going to be al-right
Eb Ab Eb
When times get rough, you can fall back on us,
Eb Bb Eb Ab/Eb-Eb
Don't give up, please don't give up
Eb Bb
Got to walk out of here, I can't take anymore
Eb Ab
Going to stand on that bridge, keep my eyes down below
Eb Bb
What-ever may come and what-ever may go,
Eb Bb Eb
That river's flowing, that river's flowing
[Verse 3]
Cm
Moved on to a-nother town
Eb
Tried hard to settle down
Bb
For every job, so many men
Cm
So many men no-one needs
[Chorus 3]
Ab/F Eb/G Cm7/Ab
Don't give up - 'cos you have friends
Ab/F Eb/G Cm7/Ab
