Lyrics

Don’t give (A)up on us ba by,

don’t make the (D)wrong

seem (E)right,

the (C#m)fu ture is n’t just one night,

it’s writ ten in the moon light

and paint ed on the stars,

we can’t change (Bm7)ours.

Don’t give (A)up on us ba by

we’re still worth (D)one

more (E)try,

and (C#m)tho’ we put a last one by,

just for a rain y eve ning

and paint ed on the stars,

we can’t change (Bm7)ours.

Don’t give when may be stars are (C#sus)few.

(C#)Don’t give (Bm7)up on us I know

we can still come (A)through

I (F)near ly lost my head last night,

you’ve got a (Bsus)right to (Bm7)stop be liev ing.

There’s (C#)still a lit tle (F#m)love left

ev en (D)so.

Don’t give (A)up on us ba by

Lord knows we’ve (D)come

this (E)far,

why (C#m)can’t we stay the way we are?

The an gel and the dream er

who some times plays a (C#sus)fool.

(C#)Don’t give (Bm7)up on us I know

we can still come (A)through.

It’s writ ten in the moon light

and paint ed on the stars,

we can’t change (D)ours.

(D)Don’t

give

when may be stars are (C#sus)few.

(C#)Don’t give (Bm7)up on us (Dmaj7)I know

we can still come (A)through.

Don’t give (Dmaj7)up on us ba by,

don’t give (D)up on us ba by.
