E                   F#
 And it seems really, really hard to do.
B                     A
 You feel like quitting, you feel your through.

[Verse 2]
 
B               A                       E       F#
If you want to catch a ball, but your having no luck at all.
        B                   A
The ball hits your head, it hits your nose.
    E                     F#
It hits your belly, your chin and toes.
        B            A          E                F#
Well try and try and try again, keep on trying and soon then

You'll put your hands out in the air,
       E                    F#
You'll catch that ball, yes this I swear
 
 
[Chorus 2]
             B  A      G
Dont give up, keep on going.
B                    A      G
Youre on a boat, so keep on rowing
            B  A         G
Dont give up, dont ever stop,
B                           A       G                 B
Try and try and you'll come out on top, dont give up.
 
 
[Verse 3]
     D               A
You got yourself new roller-skates.
     G              A
You put them on and you feel great,
  D           A
Stand up, but then you fall,
  G                 A
Dont think you can skate at all.
 
 
[Bridge]
    A                G
You get back up and then you trip
    A                G
You skip and tip and slip and flip
      A              G
Well try and try and try some more,
    A                         G    A
And soon your skating across the floor.
 
 
[Final Chorus]
             B  A     G
Dont give up, keep on moving.
          B                 A       G
Youre gonna get there just keep on grooving
            B  A          G
Dont give up, dont pack it in,
   B             A       G                  B
Try and try and you will win, dont give up.
 
 A       G                 B
No no no no, dont give up
A        G                B
