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
Ive changed my face, ive changed my name
        Am
But no one wants you when you lose

F    G
Dont give up
    C              Am
Cos you have friends
F    G
Dont give up
    C              Am
Youre not beaten yet
F    G
Dont give up
  Dm             G
I know you can make it good

Am
Though i saw it all around
               C
Never thought i could be affected
                  G
Thought that wed be the 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

F    G
Dont give up
    C              Am
You still have us
F    G
Dont give up
    C              Am
We dont need much of anything
F    G
Dont give up
  Dm             G
Cause somewhere theres a place
         C
Where we belong

         G
Rest your head
         C
You worry too much
                  G
Its going to be alright
     C
When times get rough
        F            C
You can fall back on us
      C
Dont give up
G           C
Please dont give up
       C
Got to walk out of here
       G
I cant take anymore
          C
Going to stand on that bridge
        F
Keep my eyes down below
         C
Whatever may come
    G
And whatever may go
            C
That rivers flowing
G           C
That rivers flowing

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

F    G
Dont give up
    C              Am
Cause you have friends
F    G
Dont give up
    C              Am
Youre not the only one
F    G
Dont give up
    C              Am
No reason to be ashamed
F    G
Dont give up
    C              Am
You still have us
F    G
Dont give up now
    C              Am
Were proud of who you are
F    G
Dont give up
    C              Am
You know its never been easy
F    G
Dont give up
        Dm                   G
Cause i believe theres the a place
         Am
Where we belong
