 I Won't Give Up - Jason Mraz


 

 
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 


 Tabbed by: Andri

 Tuning: D


 


 !! Important, please read first !!


 


 When you play this wonderful and simple song with standard- or drop D tuning


 it won't sound half as powerful as Mraz's studio version.


 So i tried to figure out a more powerful, but still "accurate" way to play this Song.


 This is not the version Mraz plays ! But it's the most beautiful if you have only one guitar.


 


 Enjoy, and please rate if you like it :) ...or comment if you find a mistake.

 And just like them old stars, i've seen that you've come so far


 to be right where you are, how old is your soul?

 Note: This chorus is played very soft and silent,


 you can strum it or pick it. But i would recommend

 Bridge)


 


 I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily i'm here to stay and


 make the difference that i can make


 Our differences they do a lot to teach us how they use the tools and gifts


 we got yeah, we go a lot at stake


 And in the end you're still my friend at least we did intend for us to


 work, we didn't break, we didn't burn


 We had to learn how to bend without the world cavin' in, i had to learn


 what i got and what i'm not and who i am


 


 Chorus (I've just listed the chords here):


 


 Note: This is where it gets loud.


 You have to strum the chords now.
