Intro: 
F#m A/E Ab5 D 

F#m A/E Ab5 D 

F#m 
Giving up 
A/E 
Is hard to do 
Ab5 
When you really 
D 
Love someone 
F#m 
Giving up 
A/E 
So hard to do 
Ab5 
When you still depend upon 
D 
Her warm and tender touch 
F#m 
Her kiss and her caress 
A/E 
Ooh, they used to 
Ab5 
Mean so much 
D 
And bring you happiness 

Giving up 
So hard to do 
I've tried 
But it just ain't no use 
Giving up 
So hard to do 
I said I've tried 
But it just ain't no use 

But my light of hope 
Is burning dim 
But in my heart I pray 
That my love and faith 
In the girl 
Will bring her back to me 

Ooh, whether 
Whether she knows or not 
She really needs me too 
The little girl 
Is all I got 
Yes she is 
And giving up 
Giving up is so hard to do 

Giving up 
So hard to do 
Giving up 
So very hard to do 
I said I've tried it 
But I just can't get loose 
Giving up 
So hard for me to do 
I don't want to lose you 
'Cause you mean 
So much to me 
Giving up...
