Dont give up Peter Gabriel
[Cm] [Bb/C] [Cm]
In this proud land we grew up strong
[Bb/D] [Eb] [Ab/Eb] [Eb]
We were wanted all along
[Bb] [Eb/Bb] [Bb]
I was taught to fight, taught to win
[Cm] [Bb/C] [Cm]
I never thought I could fail
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:
[Ab/F] [Eb/G] [Cm/Ab]
Don't give up - 'cos you have friends
[Ab/F] [Eb/G] [Cm/Ab]
Don't give up - you're not beaten yet
[Ab/F] [Eb/G] [Ab] [Bb]
Don't give up - I know you can make it good
(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
------------------------------------------------------------------
[Bb] [Eb/BbBb]
Rest your head
[Eb] [Ab/Eb-Eb]
You worry too much
[Bb] [Eb/Bb] [Bb]
It's going to be alright
[Eb] [Ab] [Eb]
When times get rough, you can fall back on us,
[Eb] [Bb] [Eb]
Don't give up, please don't give up
[Eb] [Bb]
Got to walk out of here, I can't take anymore
[Eb] [Ab]
Going to stand on that bridge, keep my eyes down below
[Eb] [Bb]
Whatever may come and whatever may go,
[Eb] [Bb]
That river's flowing, that river's flowing
[Eb] [Ab/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
[Ab] [Bb]There's a place where we belong
[Bb] [Eb] End Section:
