G D
When I look into your eyes
G D
It's like watching the night sky
G D
Or a beautiful sunrise
A
There's so much they hold
G D
And just like them old stars
G D
I see that you've come so far
G D
To be right where you are
A
How old is your soul?
Chorus:
G D
I won't give up on us
Bm A
Even if the skies get rough
G D
I'm giving you all my love
A
I'm still looking up
G D
And when you're needing your space
G D
To do some navigating
G D
I'll be here patiently waiting
A
To see what you find
G D
'Cause even the stars they burn
Bm A
Some even fall to the earth
G D
We've got a lot to learn
A
God knows we're worth it
G
No, I won't give up
G G G
I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
G A
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
G G G
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
G A
The tools and gifts we got yeah, we got a lot at stake
C C
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
C
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
A A A
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
C C C
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not
A
And who I am
Chorus ( x3 ):
G D
I won't give up on us
Bm A
Even if the skies get rough
G D
I'm giving you all my love
A

chords:
Esus4 (G – 4th fret, C – 4th fret, open E, open A)

I found this sounding weird too, so I transposed it down to -2. Sounds better.
What is the strumming pattern, does anyone know?
loooove the song!!!
I Won’t Give Up:)))
is it just standard tuning or what?
The original key is +5
D-D-U-P Is the best for this song
I like to use D – D U D U. Like 1, 2 a 3 a. That’s for anyone like me who counts in their head.
Im a beginner but ive found that dduMute sounds decent
for -2 whats the strumming pattern?
+3 sounds good
The strumming pattern sounds good as UDUD
Which strumming pattern sounds better?
-2 sounds more like the real song
+7 sounds way better
i feel like there is something not quite right.
I think its best if you sing then when you get to ” into your eyes ”
do 3 downs and then 1 up on another chord Like this DOWN DOWN UP ON C THEN ONE DOWN ON G this is +5 btw
