  ..how old is your soul  
 
 
 
 
                 G       D                  
I  won't  give  up  on  us  
 
                Bm          A  
Even  if  the  skies  get  rough  
 
                  G         D  
I'm  giving  you  all  my  love  
 
                      A  Asus  A  
I'm  still  looking  up  
 
 
 
 
Verse: 
 
 
And when you're needing your space  
 
To do some navigating  
 
I'll be here patiently waiting  
 
To see what you find  
 
 
Chorus 
 
                    G       D  
'Cause even the stars they burn  
 
             Bm          A  
Some even fall to the earth  
 
              G         D  
We've got a lot to learn  
 
                     A  Asus  A  
God  knows  we're  worth  it  
   
                     G  
No,  I  won't  give  up  
 
 
 
Bridge:  
 
          Em  
I  don't  wanna  be  someone  who  walks  away  so  easily  
 
                                                       A/D  
I'm  here  to  stay  and  make  the  difference  that  I  can  make  
 
   Em  
Our  differences  they  do  a  lot  to  teach  us  how  to  use  
 
                                                  A/D  
The  tools  and  gifts  we  got  yeah,  we  got  a  lot  at  stake  
 
              C  
And  in  the  end,  you're  still  my  friend  at  least  we  did  intend  
 
                                                         C#  
For  us  to  work  we  didn't  break,  we  didn't  burn  
 
                                                                   C  
We  had  to  learn  how  to  bend  without  the  world  caving  in  
 
                                   C#                    (break)  
I  had  to  learn  what  I've  got,  and  what  I'm  not  
 
           D  
And who I am  
 
 
             G       D  
I won't give up on us  
 
             Bm          A  
Even if the skies get rough  
 
               G         D  
I'm giving you all my love  
 
                  A - Asus - A  
I'm still looking up  
 
               G  
Still looking up.  
 
 
             G       D  
No, I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)  
 
             Bm          A  
God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)  
 
               G         D  
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)    
 
                  A - Asus - A  
And we're, and we're worth it (and we're worth it)  
 
 
 
 
Outro:  
 
             G        D  
I won't give up on us  
 
             Bm          A              
Even if the skies get rough  
 
 
               G         D  
I'm giving you all my love  
 
                    A  
I'm still looking up
