Capo 2
(D) I can hear you downstairs (G) crying on the phone
(D) Telling someone that I'm here (G) but you still feel all alone
(Em7) "Maybe we were too young (G) Goodbye I gotta go
(D) I can hear the baby waking up gotta (G) get back to the life I know
(Em7) Should've never (G) believed him, (Em7) and maybe I should (G) just leave him"
Chorus:
(D) Maybe I'm not but you're all I (Em7) got left to believe in
(G) Don't give up on me (Em7) I'm about to come alive
(D) I know that its been hard and (Em7) its been a long time coming
(G) But don't give up on me (Em7) I'm about to come (G) alive (D) (G)
(D) No one thought I was good enough for you (G) Except for you
(D) Don't let them be right after (G) all that we've been through
(Em7) Somewhere over that rainbow (G) theres a place for me, a place with you
Chorus:
(D) Maybe I'm not but you're all I (Em7) got left to believe in
(G) Don't give up on me (Em7) I'm about to come alive

(G) But don't give up on me (Em7) I'm about to come (G) alive (D)
Bridge:
(Em7) In every frame upon our wall (G) lies a face thats seen it all
(D) Through ups and downs, and then more downs 
(G) we've helped each other off of the ground
(Em7) No one knows what we've been through)
(G) Making it ain't making it without you
Chorus:
(D) Maybe I'm not but you're all I (Em7) got left to believe in
(G) Don't give up on me (Em7) I'm about to come alive
