[Verse]
          C                     G
When that ray of sunshine's overdue
              Dm7
You've got to keep on trying
         C                         G
When the thunder rolls, though the storm is through
              Dm7
You've got to keep on trying
F               Em               Am         G
Lightning never ever strikes the same place twice
     F          Em             Am            Dm7 Em F Ab
I've taken many chances in the middle of the ice

[Verse]
         C                  G
When the dice are down on a losing streak
              Dm7
You've got to keep on trying
          C                         G
When your mind is willing, but your heart is weak
              Dm7
You've got to keep on trying
  F            Em         Am    G
I never had it easy and I never will
    F             Em             Am              Dm7
The sun is always shining on the far side of the hill
   Em        F      D7  C
Oh ho ho, oh ho ho, ho, ohh

[Chorus]
C
If you feel like crying
F
Don't give up
C
Keep on trying
D7
Swallow your pride
    Am        Dm7     C
And come back into my life

[Verse]
     C               G
When lady luck's got nothing new
              Dm7
You've got to keep on trying
            C            G
When you're feeling melancholy blue
              Dm7
You've got to keep on trying
  F              Em            Am       G
I didn't want to be the one to take the blame
  F                Em             Am       Dm7
I always played to win but it's a solitary game
   Em        F      D7  C
Oh ho ho, oh ho ho, ho, ohh

[Chorus]
C
When you feel like crying
F
Don't give up
C
Keep on trying

Swallow your pride
    Am        Dm7     C
But come back into my life

[Chorus]
C
If you feel like crying
F
Don't give up
C
Keep on trying
D7
Swallow your pride
    Am        Dm7     C
And come back into my life

[Chorus]
C
When you feel like crying
F
Don't give up
C
Keep on trying
D7
Swallow your pride
    Am        Dm7     C
But come back into my life
