"Don't Give Up On Me Now"

[Verse 1]
Riff    Am      Riff    Am     Riff
Am                      C 
Time, it opens all wounds
Am                      C 
And trust is gonna put me in the tomb 
                Dm                              F 
The world isn't mine, the world isn't mine to save 
                  Dm                              F    
I can't afford to lose what you resell and throw away
 
[Chorus]

Am      G      F      C 
And I don't even know myself, 
Am      G      F      C 
What it would take to know myself
Am      G        F            C      G
I need to change, I don't know how 
                  Am    
Don't give up on me now
Riff    Am      Riff    Am     Riff

[Verse 2]
Am                                                  C 
It's not what we do, it's what we do with what we feel
                                Am                        C
Takes all you have to stare it down, and whisper "Devil, no deal."
                        Dm                              F 
And I don't wanna fight, don't wanna fight my father's war 
                        Dm                              F 
You can wait your whole life Not knowing what you're waiting for
 
[Chorus]

Am      G      F      C 
And I don't even know myself, 
Am      G      F      C 
What it would take to know myself
Am      G        F            C      G
I need to change, I don't know how 
                  Am    
Don't give up on me now
                  Am    
Don't give up on me now
Riff    Am      Riff    Am     Riff

[Chorus]

Am      G      F      C 
And I don't even know myself, 
Am      G      F      C 
What it would take to know myself
Am      G        F            C      G
I need to change, I don't know how 
                  Am    
Don't give up on me now
Riff    Am      Riff    Am     Riff (Slow)
