But in the year of 2001, God blessed us with a song that was just a healer.
It's become a national [Bbm] healer around the world for us.
And we keep singing this song because it's so positive.
And the message is very clear.
It says, don't give up [Gm] on you.
[Bb] And don't give up on me.
None of us are perfect.
We all make mistakes.
But turn it around.
Make it work.
Don't give up so quickly.
Things are going wrong.
Hold on.
If I fall short, [A] easy.
Don't make the [D] grade.
[Ab]
If your expectations not met in me, [G] today.
There's [Cm] always tomorrow.
[Ebm] Or tomorrow night.
Come on.
[Bb] Hang in there, baby.
[D] Sooner or later, [Gm] you know I'll get it right.
[G] Please, [Cm] don't give up on me.
Don't you dare [Ebm] give up on me.
[F] Yeah, [Bb] I know it's a late, [Ab] late in [G] life's little games.
Oh, but [Cm] my feelings, my true feelings for you.
[F] Will never change.
Here in [Bb] my heart, my heart, my heart, my heart.
I know [D] I've been wrong, wrong.
I'd like to make [Ab] amends.
Oh, the love and the hug and the [G] tenderness.
That I've never shown.
Don't you [Cm] dare give up on me.
Every word I speak [Ebm] tonight is true.
Come on.
I'll give you my [Bb] everything.
Give you my heart.
[D] Give you my love.
[Gm] You can have my money if you wanted [G] to.
Please, [Cm] don't give up on me.
Oh, baby, we can make [Ebm] it.
We can make it.
[F] Hold on.
Please, [Bb] don't give up on me.

[Bb] Don't give up on me.
[Ab] Hey!
[G] I'll give you what you want, when you want it, how you want it, where you want it.
And every time you think [Cm] you want it, baby.
Give me the chance to prove that my romance
[F] Is the one romance that will turn our [G] lives around.
Please, [Bb] don't give up on me.
[Ab] Hey!
No, [G] no, no, no.
I [Cm] know it's late.
But wait.
[F] Oh, wait, baby.
Don't pay no attention to what [Bb] nobody else says.
