How Can You Give Up
B E F# G#m F#
No, you don't know
B E F# G#m F#
it makes no sense
B E F# G#m F#
and there goes
B E F# G#m F#
your confidence
E
you were so understanding
F#
so sure of yourself
G#m
but when love became damaged
C#m
you ran for help
F# B E B
How can you give up on love - Oh
F# B E B
How can you give up on love so soon
F# B E B
How can you give up on love this time
E B G#m F#
you ought to know love is hard to find
Steady B E F# G#m F#
hold your breath B E F# G#m F#
It isn't B E F# G#m F#
over yet B E F# G#m F#
So with one small admission E
your paying the price F#
did you tell yourself lying was G#m
good advice C#m
How can you give up on love F# B E B
How can you give up on love so soon F# B E B
How can you give up on love this time F# B E B
you ought to know love is hard to find E B G#m F#
It's not easy to tell where E
security lies F#
Is it stupid to trust in G#m
the look in her eyes C#m
How can you give up on love F# B E B
How can you give up on love so soon F# B E B
How can you give up on love this time F# B E B
you ought to know love is hard to find E B G#m F#
