Verse:
In this proud land we grew up strong
Cm Bb/C Cm
We were wanted all along
Bb/D Eb G#/Eb Eb
I was taught to fight, taught to win
Bb Eb/Bb Bb

No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose
Chorus
Don't give up - 'cos you have friends
G#/F Eb/G Cm7/G#
Don't give up - you're not beaten yet

[verse]
Though I saw it all around
Never thought I could be affected
Thought that we'd be the last to go
It is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground
chorus
don't give up - you still have us
don't give up - we don't need much of anything
don't give up - 'cos somewhere there's a place where we belong
G# Bm Eb G#/Eb-Eb
Bridge:
Rest your head
Bb Eb/Bb-Bb
You worry too much
Eb G#/Eb-Eb
It's going to be alright
Bb Eb/Bb Bb
When times get rough, you can fall back on us,
Eb G# Eb
Don't give up, please don't give up
Eb Bb Eb G#/Eb-Eb
Got to walk out of here, I can't take anymore
Eb Bb
Going to stand on that bridge, keep my eyes down below
Eb G#
Whatever may come and whatever may go,
Eb Bb
That river's flowing, that river's flowing
Eb Bb Eb G#/Eb-Eb
[verse]
Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs
chorus
Don't give up - 'cos you have friends
Don't give up - you're not the only one
Don't give up - no reason to be ashamed
Don't give up - you still have us
Don't give up now - we're proud of who you are
Don't give up - you know it's never been easy
Don't give up - 'cos I believe there's a place
G# Bb
There's a place where we belong
Bb Eb
