Intro: B  F# (2x) 
             OOOOoOOooOOh 
B                                A 
When you want to do something that's new 
E                            F# 
And it seems really, really hard to do 
B                                A 
You feel like quitting, you feel you're through 
E                          F# 
Well I have some advice for you 

B 
Don't give up 
F# 
Keep on trying 
B 
You're gonna make it 
F# 
I ain't lying 
B                   F# 
Don't give up, don't ever quit 
B                    F# 
Try and try and you can do it 
B 
Don't give up, yeah 

B                       A 
If you want to catch a ball 
E                              F# 
But you're having no luck at all 
B                                      A 
The ball hits your head, it hits your nose 
E                                 F# 
It hits your belly, your chin and toes 
B                             A 
Well, try and try and try again 
D#                         E 
Keep on trying and soon end 
B                                   A 
You put your hands out in the air 
D# 
You'll catch the ball 
E 
Yes this I swear 

B 
Don't give up 
F# 
Keep on going 
B 
You're on a boat, 
F# 
So keep on rowing 
B                   F# 
Don't give up, don't ever stop 
B                          F# 
Try and try and you'll come out on top 
B 
Don't give up 

D                       A 
You got yourself rollerskates 
G                                  A 
You put them on and you feel great 
D                   A 
You stand up, then you fall, 
G                                  A 
Don't think you can skate at all 
A                      G 
You get back up, then you trip, 
A                      G 
You skip and tip and slip, and flip 
A                      G 
You try and try and try some more 
A                                   G             A 
And soon you're skating across the floor 

B                   A 
Don't give up, keep on moving, 
B                                  A 
You're gonna get there, just keep on grooving 
B                 F# 
Don't give up, don't pack it in 
B                  F# 
Try and try, and you'll win 
(B                  F#) 
Don't give up, no no no 
Don't give up, no no no 
Don't give up, no no no 
Don't give up, no no 
B 
Don't give up!
