        Am
In this proud land we grew up strong

                     C
We were wanted all along

      G                              Em
I was taught to fight, taught to win

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

           Am        G        Am
But no one wants you when you lose
[Chorus]
Dm            C               F
-- Don't give up, because you have friends

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

Dm            C              F           G
-- Don't give up, I know you can make it good
[Verse 2]
Am
Though I saw it all around

                                   C
I never thought that I could be affected

  G                            Em
I thought that we would be the last to go

         Am          G          Am
It is so strange the way things turn
[Chorus]
Dm            C             F
-- Don't give up, you still have us

Dm            C            F
-- Don't give up, we don't need much of anything

Dm            C        F                   G
-- Don't give up, 'cuz somewhere there's a place

                            C
There's a place where we belong
[Bridge]
       C
Got to walk out of here

        G
I can't take anymore

          C
I'm gonna stand on that bridge

        F
Keep my eyes down below

    C                     G
Whatever may come and whatever may go

             C       F              C
That river's flowing - That river's flowing
[Verse 3]
Am
Moved on to another town

                      C
Tried hard to settle down

    G            Em
For every job so many men

        Am  G      Am
So many men no one needs
[Chorus]
Dm            C               F
-- Don't give up, because you have friends

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

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

Dm            C             F              G
-- Don't give up, 'cuz I believe there's a place

                            C
There's a place where we belong
