GIVE IT UP

Badfinger

Live in hope of love and wait to die

Sadness all around us makes for crying

Feelings that once meant so much

Are left to dry and turn to dust, and ashes


We learn to wheel and deal and say goodbye

Madness all around us makes for dyin'

Young deceivers soon turn old

Are left to die amongst their gold and cashes


Give it up

Or we'll end on the rocks (give it up)

Give it up (give it up)

Give it up, give yourself time

Give it up, your saviour's in shock (give it up)

Give it up (give it up)

Give it up (give it up)


We drive a million miles to see the sun

Hoping we are not too late for saving

The Lord will smile on you today

Give you love that you can trade

For matches, TVs, and movie stars

And driving cars is catching


Give it up

Or we'll end on the rocks (give it up)

Give it up (give it up)

Give it up, give yourself time (give it up)

Give it up, your saviour's in shock (give it up)

Give it up (give it up)

Give it up (give it up)


[guitar solo (Joey Molland)]:

(Give it up, give it up, give it up)

(Give it up, give it up, give it up)

(Give it up, give it up, give it up)

(Give it up, give it up, give it up)

(Give it up, give it up, give it up)

(Give it up, give it up, give it up).
