[Intro]
Sit down my frBiend 
I wanted to teEll you

of hGburts and griefs and sores 
well I nearly drBowned 
trying to sEave you 
and you should knBow, I ain't Gbcoming around anyBmore 
[Verse]
Now don't say you're sBorry 
'cause it's not your fEault, dear 
it's a cruel wBorld you live in 
and it's bound to get in your bGbones your skin your eyes 
but don't ask me whBy I'm giving up 
'cause you don't want the Eanswer 
and dBamn me to hell if I tGbell another sweet lBie 
[Chorus]
Now when I tEhink about 
all the times you pBut your trust in Gbme 
I want to cEry becBause it's too mGbuch 
and I don't know hEow to bBe 
the fDbmriend you need in mEe
I've trBied, but tGbhis is giving Bup Gb  
[Verse]
There was a tBime 
when I'd find you hEanging from your tree 
and I'd take my knBife 
and I'd try hGbard to cut you down 
but this old grBound 
oh it's so crEacked and cratered now 
I'm afrBaid that you're Gbnever gonna find your fBeet 
[Chorus]
Now when I tEhink about 
all the times you pBut your trust in Gbme 
I want to cEry becBause it's too mGbuch 
and I don't know hEow to bBe 
the fDbmriend you need in mEe
I've trBied, but tGbhis is giving Bup

"Giving up" by Reina del Cid

[Intro]

Sit down my friend

I wanted to tell you

since you put that moat around your pretty castle

of hurts and griefs and sores

well I nearly drowned

trying to save you

B Gb B

and you should know, I ain't coming around anymore

[Verse]

Now don't say you're sorry

'cause it's not your fault, dear

it's a cruel world you live in

and it's bound to get in your bones your skin your eyes

but don't ask me why I'm giving up

'cause you don't want the answer

B Gb B

and damn me to hell if I tell another sweet lie

[Chorus]

Now when I think about

B Gb

all the times you put your trust in me

E B Gb

I want to cry because it's too much

E B

and I don't know how to be

Dbm E

the friend you need in me

B Gb B Gb

I've tried, but this is giving up

[Verse]

There was a time

when I'd find you hanging from your tree

and I'd take my knife

and I'd try hard to cut you down

but this old ground

oh it's so cracked and cratered now

B Gb B

I'm afraid that you're never gonna find your feet

[Chorus]

Now when I think about

B Gb

all the times you put your trust in me

E B Gb

I want to cry because it's too much

E B

and I don't know how to be

Dbm E

the friend you need in me

B Gb B

I've tried, but this is giving up
