Lyrics

When I look in to (E)your eyes,

it’s like watch ing the night sky,

or a beau ti ful sun rise.

There’s so much they (Bsus4)hold.

And just like them (E)old

stars,

I see that you’ve come so far

to be right where you

are.

How old is your (Bsus4)soul?

I won’t give (A)up

on (E)us.

E ven if the (C#m)skies

get

(B)rough.

I’m giv ing you (A)all

(E)love.

I’m still look ing (Bsus4)up.

And when you’re need ing (E)your

space

to do some nav i gat ing,

I’ll be here pa tient ly wait

ing to see what you (Bsus4)find.

’Cause e ven the (A)stars

they

(E)burn,

some e ven (C#m)fall

to the (B)earth.

We’ve got a (A)lot

(E)learn.

God knows we’re (Bsus4)worth it.

No, I won’t give (Amaj7)up.

I don’t (F#m)wan na be some one who walks a way so eas i ly.

I’m here to stay and make the dif fer ence that (B)I can make.

Our (F#m)dif f’renc es, they do a lot to teach us how to use the tools and gifts we got, yeah, we got a lot at stake.

And in the (D)end, you’re still my friend.

At (D)least we did in tend for (D)us to work.

We did n’t (D)break.

We did n’t burn.

We had to learn how to bend with out the world cav ing in.

I had to learn what I’ve got and what I’m not and who I (E)am.

I won’t give (A)up on

(E)us e ven if the (C#m)skies get

I’m giv ing you (A)all my
