A                       C#
If I fall short, if I don't make the grades 
Gº                                F#m      F#7
If your expectations aren't met in me today 
                   Bm                 Dm/F
There is always tomorrow, or tomorrow night 
               A          A/G
Hang in there baby, sooner or later 
              F#m     F#7
I know I'll get it right
               Bm
Just don't give up on me

Please don't give up on me 
              A   A/G        F#m  F#7
I know it's late, late in the game 
        Bm
But my feelings, my true feelings 
        E
Haven't changed 
           A
Here in my heart
      C#
I know I was wrong
                 Gº                         F#
I'd like to make a mend for the love that was never shown 
                 Bm             Dm/F
I'm making this promise, every word is true
               A         C#        F#m            F#7
I'll give you my everything, all of my love to you
              Bm                    F               E
Just don't give up on me, please don't give up on me
