G                    C       D
 The tide is high but I'm holding on
 G                 C      D
 I'm gonna be your number one
 G
 I'm not the kinda man 
 C            D         G     C  D
 Who gives up just like that, oh no

[Verse]

 G                                       C        D
 It's not the things you do, that really hurts me bad
 G                                      C     D
 But it's the way you do the things you do to me
 G                     C            D         G     C  D
 I'm not the kinda man who gives up just like that, oh no

[Bridge]

 G                        C       D
 The tide is high but I'm holding on
 G                 C      D
 I'm gonna be your number one
 C      D    C      D
 Number one, number one

[Verse]

 G                      C      D
 Every man wants you to be his girl
 G                                 C  D
 But I'll wait, my dear, 'til it's my turn
 G                     C            D         G     C   D
 I'm not the kinda man who gives up just like that, no
