Em7               C2
Tell me something you've never told before
       G
Before I walk through the door, I adore you, I adore you
Em7       C2      
I do            
G
I do

Em7             C2
Smile at me and cry with me
G
I won't ever tell a soul
Em7                  C2
Hold my hand I'll squeeze it back
G
And I'll never let go

(chorus)
Em
Never give up
Em      C
Never look back
C
I won't give up
C               Em
I'll keep on trying
Em
Dry your tears up
Em         C
All your crying
C                    Em     C
Cannot fix me up my darling
C            Em       C
Fix me up my darling

(Break: Em7, C2 x2)

Em7              C2
Twisty, turning winding path
G
I could listen to your laugh
                       Em7             C2    G    
As we tip toe on these humble truths
G
I don't want to lose you
Em7                C2               G
Show me how to love deeper than the surface
G
My friend
Em7                         C2              G
And you can show me what it means to have purpose
G
And I'll tell you again

(chorus)

Em
Never give up
Em      C
Never look back
C
I won't give up
C               Em
I'll keep on trying
Em
Dry your tears up
Em         C
All your crying
C                    Em     C
Cannot fix me up my darling
C            Em       
Fix me up my darling

(pause)

(muted)
Em              C
Oh oh oh oh     Oh oh oh oh    

(repeated x5 at the end of the 5th time is when she sings hold on)

Em
Hold on

(Picking strings tab at bottom, orchestral) 
Em, C
Em                      C
Don't you lose hope the sky's not falling
Em                        C
Please just listen 'cause I'll be calling
Em                C
Stay with me just one more moment
Em                         C
I know you're in pain just please don't show it
                                     One more moment please  

(back to strumming)
Em
It's too late
     C
I'm afraid I have to leave
                        One more moment please
(repeat 6x)
Em
Just promise me, promise me

That you'll

Dry your tears up
Em         C
All your crying
