[Verse]
   Am                      
In this proud land we grew up strong

        C
We were wanted all along

      G  
I was taught to fight, taught to win

        Am
I never thought I could fail

Am
No fight left or so it seems

                 C
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted

                G
I've changed my face, I've changed my name

           Am
But no one wants you when you lose
[Chorus]
F          Cmaj7             F9
     Don't give up - 'cos you have friends

F          C                    F9
     Don't give up - you're not beaten yet

F         C/E          F            G
     Don't give up - I know you can make it good
[Verse]
Am
Though I saw it all around

                   C
Never thought that I could be affected

               G
Thought that we'd be last to go

         Am
It is so strange the way things turn

Am
Drove the night toward my home

                     C
The place that I was born, on the lakeside

            G
As daylight broke, I saw the earth

              Am
The trees had burned down to the ground
[Chorus]
F9          C              F9
      Don't give up - you still have us

F           C/E                 F9
      Don't give up - we don't need much of anything

F           C /E             F                   G                 C
      Don't give up - 'cos somewhere there's a place where we belong
[Bridge]
          G     G4 G
Rest your head

              C    F C
You worry too much

                   G     G4 G
It's going to be alright

     C         C7                  F        C
When times get rough, you can fall back on us, 

           C    G           C           F C
Don't give up,    please don't give up

        C                       G
Got to walk out of here, I can't take anymore

      C             C7              F 
Gonna stand on that bridge, keep my eyes down below

    C                     G
Whatever may come and whatever may go,

          C           G            C        
That river's flowing,    that river's flowing
[Verse]
Am
Moved on to another town

      C
Tried hard to settle down

      G
For every job, so many men

        Am
So many men no-one needs
[Chorus]
F9         C              Am
     Don't give up - 'cos you have friends

     Don't give up - you're not the only one

F          C             F9
     Don't give up - no reason to be ashamed

F          C             F9
     Don't give up - you still have us

F          C                    F9
     Don't give up now - we're proud of who you are

F          C                       F9
     Don't give up - you know it's never been easy

F          C                  F            G
     Don't give up - 'cos I believe there's a place

                           C
There's a place where we belong
