Lyrics and Music by Jason Mraz and Michael Natter

Intro: C#/G# G# | G#  } 3 times
       Ebsus₄ Ebsus₄/Bb | Eb

                 C#/G# G#
When I look into your eyes:
                       C#/G# G#
It’s like watching the night sky
               C#/G# G#
Or a beautiful sunrise.
                         Ebsus₄ Eb
Oh, there’s so much they hold.

And just like them old stars,
I see that you’ve come so far
To be right where you are.
How old is your soul?

Chorus:
                        C#    G#
     Well, I won’t give up on us
                 Fm₇       Eb
     Even if the skies get rough.
                    C#     G#
     I’m giving you all my love,
                       Eb  Ebsus₄ Eb
     I’m still looking up.

    G#                  C#/G# G#
And when you’re needing your space
           C#/G# G#
To do some navigating,
             C#/G#     G#
I’ll be here patiently waiting
                Ebsus₄ Eb
To see what you find.

Chorus:
     ’Cause even the stars, they burn,
     Some even fall to the earth.
     We got a lot to learn,
                      Eb        Ebsus₄ Eb
     God knows, we’re worth it.
                      C#maj C#₆ C#maj C#₆
     No, I won’t give up.

           Bbm
   I don’t wanna be someone,
   Who walks away so easily.
   I’m here to stay and make the difference
        Eb
   That I can make.

       Bbm
   Our differences, they do a lot
   To teach us how to use
   The tools and gifts we got.
                  Eb
   Yeah, we got a lot at stake.

              F#
   And in the end
   You’re still my friend,
   At least we did intend
   For us to work.
   We didn’t break,
   We didn’t burn,
 Gm₇^5-
   We had to learn
   How to bend without the world caving in.
 F#
   I had to learn
   What I got
 Gm₇^5-
   And what I’m not,
             G#
   And who I am.

Chorus:
     G#           C#    G#
     I won’t give up on us
                 Fm        Eb
     Even if the skies get rough.
                    C#     G#
     I’m giving you all my love,
                       Fm₇
     I’m still looking up,
                   Eb/G Eb
     Still looking up.

         Eb           C#    G#
     But I won’t give up on us
     (No, I’m not giving up),
                    Fm     Eb
     God knows, I’m tough enough
     (I am tough, I am loved),
                 C#     G#
     We’ve got a lot to learn
     (We’re alive, we are loved),
                      Eb
     God knows, we’re worth it
                Ebsus₄     Eb
     (And we’re worth it).

     Eb           C#    G#
     I won’t give up on us
                 Fm        Eb
     Even if the skies get rough.
                    C#     G#
     I’m giving you all my love,
                       Eb
     I’m still looking up.
