[Intro]
C G6
(Don't give up on me
C F
'Cause I'm just in a rut
C Cadd9 C/E F G
I'm climbing but the walls keep stacking up)
[Verse 1]
C G6 C F
Can't keep my mind off of every little wrong
C Cadd9 C/E F
I see the mouths are open, but I can't hear the song
C G6 C F
I've done my best to fill 'em, but the cracks are starting to spread
C Cadd9 C/E F
Hey I won't blame you baby, go on turn your head
[Chorus]
C G6
But don't give up on me
C F
'Cause I'm just in a rut
C Cadd9 C/E F G
I'm climbing but the walls keep stacking up
[Verse 2]
C G6 C F
I can't keep pretending this next stop isn't mine
C Cadd9 C/E F
The truth is on the table, someone's gotta sign
C G6 C F
I've done my best defending, but the punches are starting to land
C Cadd9 C/E F Gsus4
I'm sliding into something you won't understand
[Chorus]
C G6
Don't give up on me
C F
'Cause I'm just in a rut
C Cadd9 C/E F G
I'm climbing but the walls keep stacking up
C G6
But don't give up on me
C F
'Cause I'm just in a rut
C Cadd9 C/E F G
I'm climbing but the walls keep stacking up
[Bridge]
F G
So I'm handing you a memory
Am7 C
I hope you understand
F G Am7 C
That steadily reminds you of who I really am
F G Am7 C
This city's always breathing, I wish that it would die
F G
The kickbacks and the bachelors, the fever for the velvet rope
Am7
The money from my mother's men
G
I'm not like her, you're not like them
C G Am7 Fadd9
I'll climb and I'll climb, I'll climb and I'll climb, I'll climb and I'll climb
C G Am7 Fadd9
I'll climb and I'll climb, I'll climb and I'll climb, I'll climb and I'll climb
C F G Am7 G
I'll climb and I'll climb, I'll climb and I'll climb, I'll climb and I'll climb
[Outro]
C G Am F
Don't you give up on me (don't you give up, don't you give up)
C G Am F
Don't you give up on me (don't you give up, don't you give up)
C G Am F
Don't you give up on me (don't you give up, don't you give up)
C G Am F
Don't you give up on me (don't you give up, don't you give up)
