F# minorF#m
Giving up
A/EA/E
Is hard to do
Ab5Ab5
When you really
D MajorD
Love someone
F# minorF#m
Giving up
A/EA/E
So hard to do
Ab5Ab5
When you still depend upon
D MajorD
Her warm and tender touch
F# minorF#m
Her kiss and her caress
A/EA/E
Ooh, they used to
Ab5Ab5
Mean so much
D MajorD
And bring you happiness

Giving up
So hard to do
I've tried
But it just ain't no use
Giving up
So hard to do
I said I've tried
But it just ain't no use

But my light of hope
Is burning dim
But in my heart I pray
That my love and faith
In the girl
Will bring her back to me

Ooh, whether
Whether she knows or not
She really needs me too
The little girl
Is all I got
Yes she is
And giving up
Giving up is so hard to do

Giving up
So hard to do
Giving up
So very hard to do
I said I've tried it
But I just can't get loose
Giving up
So hard for me to do
I don't want to lose you
'Cause you mean
So much to me
Giving up...
