I wrote this tab before the song came out publicly so the chords/lyrics might be
slightly different than what is out now. For my ear the other chords/tabs listed
do not sound right so I figured I'd share these incase others relate. Hopefully
you like it. Comments can be sent to my email listed above.

[Verse 1]
G D
When I look into your eyes
G D
It’s like watching the night sky
G D
Or a beautiful sunrise
Asus4 - A
Well there’s so much they hold
G D
And just like them old stars
G D
I see that you’ve come so far
G D
To be right where you are
Asus4 - A
How old is your soul
[Chorus]
= = = “FINGER PICK” Freestyle pick. If requested I’ll type the pattern I use
G* D
I won’t give up on us
Bm Asus4 - A
Even if the skies get rough
G* D
I’m giving you all my love
A (Hammer onto sus4 and back off)
I’m still looking up
[Verse 2]
“FINGER PICK” Pattern above
G D
And when you’re needing your space
G D
To do some navigating
G D
I’ll be here patiently waiting
Asus4 - A
To see what you find
[Chorus]
= = = “STRUM”
G D
Cause even the stars they burn
Bm Asus4
Some even fall to the earth
G D
We’ve got a lot to learn
A (Hammer onto sus2 and back off)
God knows we’re worth it
G
No I won’t give up
[Bridge]
E
I don’t wanna be someone who walks away so easily
Dadd9
I’m here to stay and make the difference that I can make
E
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use the tools and gifts we got
Dadd9
Yeah we got a lot at stake
C
And in the end, you’re still my friend at least we didn’t tend
C#m9
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#m9
I had to learn what I got, and what I’m not
D – Dsus4 - D
And who I am
[Chorus 2]
“FINGER PICK” Freestyle pick. If requested I’ll type the pattern I use
G D
I won’t give up on us
Bm Asus4
Even if the skies get rough
G D
I’m giving you all my love
Asus4 – A – Asus4 - A
I’m still looking up
[Verse]
= = = “FINGER PICK” Pattern above
G D
So easy is our life
G D
What’s mine is your’s and your’s mine
G D
Hardly do we ever fight
Asus4 - A
We’d rather be kind
[Chorus]
“LIGHT SINGLE DOWN STRUM FOR EACH CHORD”
G D
I won’t give up on us
Bm Asus4
Even if the sky’s get dark
G D
I’m healing this broken heart
= = = “STRUM”
Asus4
And I know I’m worth it
G D
I won’t give up on us

God knows I’m tough, he knows

And we’re worth it
G D
Know I won’t give up on us

God knows I’m tough, he knows
G D
We got a lot to learn
Asus4
And we’re worth it
