You Give Up
        by T'Pau
 E    A/E    H   A      H*2
EAnother H?winto oAf your discontent
EI know hHow you sAcream and shout
when nothing you see makes senses
Invaluable excuses
drop like pearls in your self defence
You never do nothing about nothing, no
Where's all you confidence
EWhy can't you reach for a Hcloser dream
EThe reason you fail
Is you go to Aextremes
EYou don't have to lie
HYou gotta try
AIf you fall, you can call
But you don't have to crawl
EYou give up
HHah, baby when it gets too rough
AYou ain't got what it takes
HNo you ain't just enough
You give Eup
You're lazy when it sHtarts to rock
AAnd when you see a way outH, you go
Aoh yeahE  
Another day goes by,
another tale to tell
How you nearly made it oh so far,
yeah you nearly did really well
Now why can't you reach for a closer dream
The people who care they don't mind where you've been
You don't have to lie
You gotta try
If you fall, you can fall
But you don't have to crawl
You give up
Hah, baby when it gets too rough
You ain't got what it takes
No you ain't just enough
You give up
You're lazy when it starts to rock
And when you see a way out, you go
Guitar Solo
Well, it's another cold and lonely day
You got another tall tale to tell
How you nearly made it oh so far,
yeah you nearly did really well
But I know,
You give up
Hah, baby when it gets too rough
You ain't got what it takes
No you ain't just enough
You give up
You're lazy when it starts to rock
And when you see a way out, you go
Oh yeah

Oh oh oh oh yeah
You Give up, oh yeah
you give up
