OOOOoOOooOOh
BB A augmentedA
When you want to do something that's new
E MajorE F#F#
And it seems really, really hard to do
BB A augmentedA
You feel like quitting, you feel you're through
E MajorE F#F#
Well I have some advice for you
BB
Don't give up
F#F#
Keep on trying
BB
You're gonna make it
F#F#
I ain't lying
BB F#F#
Don't give up, don't ever quit
BB F#F#
Try and try and you can do it
BB
Don't give up, yeah
BB A augmentedA
If you want to catch a ball
E MajorE F#F#
But you're having no luck at all
BB A augmentedA
The ball hits your head, it hits your nose
E MajorE F#F#
It hits your belly, your chin and toes
BB A augmentedA
Well, try and try and try again
D#D# E MajorE
Keep on trying and soon end
BB A augmentedA
You put your hands out in the air
D#D#
You'll catch the ball
E MajorE
Yes this I swear
BB
Don't give up
F#F#
Keep on going
BB
You're on a boat,
F#F#
So keep on rowing
BB F#F#
Don't give up, don't ever stop
BB F#F#
Try and try and you'll come out on top
BB
Don't give up
D MajorD A augmentedA
You got yourself rollerskates
G+G A augmentedA
You put them on and you feel great
D MajorD A augmentedA
You stand up, then you fall,
G+G A augmentedA
Don't think you can skate at all
A augmentedA G+G
You get back up, then you trip,
A augmentedA G+G
You skip and tip and slip, and flip
A augmentedA G+G
You try and try and try some more
A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA
And soon you're skating across the floor
BB A augmentedA
Don't give up, keep on moving,
BB A augmentedA
You're gonna get there, just keep on grooving
BB F#F#
Don't give up, don't pack it in
BB F#F#
Try and try, and you'll win
(BB F#F#)
Don't give up, no no no
Don't give up, no no no
Don't give up, no no no
Don't give up, no no
BB
Don't give up!
