[Chorus 1]
                   G
Don't give it up  ay
    D
I'm telling you

Won't give it up

[Verse 1]
 D
People lie
   G               D                  G
All they do is dance between the lines
D                 G
They won't change

Fake gold chains
   D          A           D
And shades to hide those eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
  D
I can't complain
             G               Bm
Its just the nature of these times  times

[Chorus]

Telling you  I

Won't give it up
Bm
  No  no  no
So don't even
Don't even
 A            D
Don't even try

[Verse 2]
Gm         Bm
I was you  trying to find a way

To waste my youth
Gm
Ups and downs
 Bm
Round and round
              A            D  A
The world  it turns on you

[Pre-Chorus]
  D
I can't complain
             Bm                     A
Its just the nature of these times  times
