[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 - Asus4 - A
I'm  still  looking  up
 
(Do 2nd Verse and 2nd Chorus with same Tabs and Chords as above)
 
                     A
God  knows  we're  worth  it
                     G
No,  I  won't  give  up
 
 
[Bridge]
 
          Em
I  don't  wanna  be  someone  who  walks  away  so  easily
                                                       A/D
I'm  here  to  stay  and  make  the  difference  that  I  can  make
   Em
Our  differences  they  do  a  lot  to  teach  us  how  to  use
                                                  A/D
The  tools  and  gifts  we  got  yeah,  we  got  a  lot  at  stake
              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
                                                                   C
We  had  to  learn  how  to  bend  without  the  world  caving  in
                                   C#                    (break)
I  had  to  learn  what  I've  got,  and  what  I'm  not
           D
And who I am
 
 
(Repeat 1st Chorus)
 
 
Extra Verse Lyrics: (Use Verse Tabs)
 
So easy is our lives
What's mine is yours and yours mine
Hardly do we ever fight
We'd rather be kind
 
Extra Chorus Lyrics: (Use Chorus Chords)
 
I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get dark
I'm healing this broken heart
And I know I'm worth it
 
I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)
God knows I'm tough, I am loved (I am tough, I am loved)
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)
God knows we're worth it (God knows we're worth it)
 
No, I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)
God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)
And we're, and we're worth it (and we're worth it)
 
No, I won't give up

JK6065, you may want to check the tuning on your guitar! its capo 2 like the tab says. Any idea on higher string stuff in the 2nd verse?

The Amaj chord in the first part of the chorus is an A add9 E|--X-- B|--2-- G|--4-- D|--2-- A|--0-- E|--X-- For pretty much the whole song he Avoids The High E String except for the Dmaj chord. I believe when he plays the bminor chord he leaves the high e string open towards some of more energetic parts toward the end making it a bminor11 E|--0-- B|--3-- G|--4-- D|--4-- A|--2-- E|--X-- For the majority of the song i see him playing the G (maj7) like this E|--X-- B|-(0)-- G|--0-- D|--4-- A|--5-- E|--5-- or this E|--X-- B|--3-- G|--0-- D|--4-- A|--5-- E|--5-- For the A major in the verse i believe he's playing E|----------------------- B|--3--------3--------2-- G|--2-----3--2-----3--2-- D|-----3--------3-----2-- A|--0--------0--------0-- E|----------------------- Few other small things but those were the main ones i noticed. Good Job on the Tab overall , u saved me some time learning it! I might decide to post a new tab with my revisions and give u credit as the basis if i feel inclined later
