[Intro] |A D |Bm E | 4x [Verse 1]
A                D          Bm           E
 Could've given you everything that you need

       A      D                 Bm  E
But I cannot turn back the years

A             D                Bm          E
 The perfect love was all you wanted from me

       A      D                 Bm  E
But I cannot turn back the years
[Chorus]
       D            E             A      A/G#  F#m
So we have to be strong, and I'm finding that hard

D        E           A    A/G#  F#m
 To move on, but no matter how hard I try

D                   E           A   A/G#     F#m
If your heart's in pieces, you look for the truth

D         E           Bm                                       D
 And when I look deep down inside I know, it's too bad I love you

     A          D  Bm  E
Too bad I love you

     A          D  Bm  E
Too bad I love you
[Instrumental] |A D |Bm E | 2x [Verse 2]
         A             D          Bm          E
Sometimes hits me in the morning, hits me at night

        A           D             Bm  E
That I cannot turn back the years

      A           D       Bm          E
So I look out my window, turn off my light

       A      D                 Bm  E
But I cannot turn back the years
[Chorus]
      D             E                A       A/G#  F#m
Can't make it seem easy, when you're all that I   see

       D          E          A    A/G# F#m
Can't live in a dream and I won't serenade the truth

 D          E                   A  A/G#   F#m
People are hurting and they're looking to me

    D          E           Bm                D      F#m
And I look at you there's nothing more to say, it's too bad I love you
[Bridge]
               A
But I'm never going to (Give it up, give it up)

E                           F#m
No I love you and I'm never going to (Give it up, give it up)

           E      D      A
I'll keep holding on to you (Give it up, give it up)

        E               F#m
And I'm never going to give it up (Give it up, give it up)
[Instrumental] |A D |Bm E | 4x [Verse 3: Phil Collins]
A            D         Bm           E
 All that I lived for, all that I dreamed

       A      D                 Bm  E
But I cannot turn back the years

            A        D               Bm           E
You're the water I drink, you're the air that I breathe

       A      D                 Bm  E
But I cannot turn back the years
[Chorus]
       D            E             A      A/G#  F#m
So we have to be strong, and I'm finding that hard

    D           E          A      A/G# F#m
We have to move on, but no matter how hard I try

D                    E           A   A/G#     F#m
 If your heart's in pieces, you look for the truth

      D     E        Bm              D            F#m
And when I look deep down inside I know, it's too bad I love you

No, no, no never gonna (Give it up, give it up)

      E        D           A
It's here to stay and I'm never (Give it up, give it up)

             E                    F#m
Never gonna give it up, never gonna (Give it up, give it up)

        E         D          A
No I'm never gonna give it up (Give it up, give it up)

You know you mean too much to me (Give it up, give it up)
