Intro
G  G/F#  Em  D  C  Am twice

          G
There's a story inside the lines of your face
            C      Am
I put a few there
    G                        G/F#                  Em   
You do what you can but your hands, always give it away
D             C     Am
You really do care
Em         D       C
I hope you know my love
Em         D       C     D
I hope you know my love


Chorus:
G
So don't go giving up
G                       Am          C
Don't go giving up this late in the race
G
Don't go giving up
                        Am          C
Don't go giving up this late in the race


  G                   G/F#                Em    D
I know you gotta go I know that you can't stay
      C    Am   
I am aware
  G                     G/F#            Em    D
I don't do enough but I want you to be okay
D         C     Am
I sure do care
Em         D       C
I hope you know my love
Em         D       C
I hope you know my love
 

Chorus 


Bridge:
Bm                   C
When I return to the sea
Bm                       C
Then again with you I'll be
G                       D/F#
There's place among the stars
D/F#                       Am                 C
Where you find out who you are, I'll meet you there
 
Chorus
