Lyrics

When I look in to (F)your

it’s like watch ing the (F)night

(C)sky

or a beau ti ful (F)sun

(C)rise.

There’s so much they (Gsus)hold.

And just like them (F)old

(C)stars,

I see that you’ve (F)come so (C)far

to be right where (F)you

(C)are.

How old is your (Gsus)soul?

Well, I won’t give (F)up

(C)us

e ven if the (Am)skies

get

(G)rough.

I’m giv ing you (F)all

(C)love.

I’m still look ing (Gsus)up.

And when you’re need ing (F)your

(C)space

to do some (F)nav i (C)gat ing,

I’ll be here (F)pa tient ly (C)wait

ing to see what you (Gsus)find.

’Cause e ven the (F)stars,

they

(C)burn;

some e ven (Am)fall

to the (G)earth.

We got a (F)lot

(C)learn.

God knows, we’re (Gsus)worth it.

No, I won’t give (Fmaj7)up.

I don’t (Dm)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 (G)I can make.

Our (Dm)dif f’ren ces, they do a lot to teach us how to use the tools and gifts we got; yeah, we got a (G)lot at stake.

And in the (Bb)end, you’re still my friend; at least we did in tend for us to work.

We did n’t 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 got and what I’m not and who I (C)am.

I won’t give (F)up

(C)us

e ven if the (Am)skies

get

(G)rough.

I’m giv ing you (F)all

(C)love.

I’m still look ing (Am7)up.

God knows, I’m (Am)tough

(G)nough.

We’ve got a (F)lot

God knows, we’re (G)worth it.

I won’t give (F)up

(C)us

e ven if the (Am)skies

get

(G)rough.

I’m giv ing you (F)all

(C)love.

I’m still look ing (G)up.
