                Dsus4  D                          Dsus4    D
When I look into your eyes, It's like watching the night sky,
             Dsus4 D                        Asus4  A
Or a beautiful sunrise. There's so much they hold.
                 Dsus4   D                     Dsus4     D
And just like them old stars, I see that you've come so far,
                Dsus4  D                   Asus4  A
To be right where you are. How old is your soul?

Chorus:
             G     D                 Bm       A
I won't give up on us, even if the skies get rough.
               G       D                     Asus4  A
I'm giving you all my love. I'm still looking up.

                       Dsus4   D             Dsus4  D
And when you're needing your space, to do some navigating,
            Dsus4       D                       Asus4  A
I'll be here patiently waiting, to see what you find.

Chorus:
                  G         D               Bm          A
'Cause even the stars they burn. Some even fall to the earth.
             G      D                    Asus4     A
We've got a lot to learn. God knows we're worth it.
                Gmaj7
No, I won't give up.

        Em
I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily,
                                              A
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
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

for us to work, we didn't break, we didn't burn.
C#dim
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in.
C                        C#dim                        D
I had to learn what I got, and what I'm not and who I am.

Chorus:
             G     D                 Bm       A
I won't give up on us, even if the skies get rough.
               G       D                     Bm7
I'm giving you all my love. I'm still looking up.
              A
Still looking up.

            G     D
I won't give up on us (no I'm not... giving up)
               Bm     A
God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough... I am loved)
             G      D
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive... we are loved)
                 A
God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)

             G     D                 Bm       A
I won't give up on us, even if the skies get rough.
               G       D                      A
I'm giving you all my love. I'm still looking up.
