Not Giving Up
View chords used in this chart
verse 1
Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7
I guess we're staying home
Am Fmaj7
Judging by the snow
C
The streets are covered white, in the glow
Em Am Fmaj7
Of moonlight; and it's cold tonight
verse 2
Am Fmaj7
So now we sit alone
Am Fmaj7
And nurse our broken bones
C
Every open door has been closed
Em Am
And the windows are boarded up
Pre-Chorus
F Am
Do you see light? Does it shine in the dark?
F Am
Do you find hope? Is it hanging by a rope in your heart?
Em Am
Do you get comfort? Does it come when you consider the cross?
F E G
Or are you lost, just like I'm lost?
F
As Christmas comes
[Refrão]
C
I'm not the same as I once was
Am Em
There are more questions than the answers that I've got
F Am
So once again I'm forced to strip it down to love
C Em
The quiet snow; nowhere to go
Fmaj7
I'm not giving up
Fmaj7
I'm not giving up
Bridge
C Fmaj7
I'm not giving up (You are my only hope)
C Fmaj7
I'm not giving up (You are my only hope)
C Fmaj7
I'm not giving up (You are my only hope)
C
I'm not giving up
