[Verse]
  Db                         
I remember wasn't so long ago
         Db7                                  
We had a one room shack and the livin' was low
                              Gb           
And my mama by herself raised me and my bro
       Gb                                        
Wasn't easy but we did it with the little that go
Db                                        
Worked hard got us off to school every day
                                        Db7            
And kept her eyes on the stars when the skies were gray
        Gb                                       
Gave us pride to survive really showed us the way
      Gb                                          
Now I really understood what she was tryin' to say
         Db                                           
She said Son there'll be times when the tides are high
        Db                           
And the boat may be rocky you can cry
           Db     
Just never give up
                       Gb     
And you can never give up uhuh


[Chorus]
        Db                                     
In this life you could lead if you only believe
       Db                            
And in order to achieve what you need
                   Db
You can never give up
Gb                       
And you can never give up
         Db        Gb                   
And this hope that ■  keep me holding on
                   Db    Gb Db7                  
And this hope that makes ■  me carry on on and on


[Verse]
Db7                                 
Boomboom couldn't have made it alone
        Db7                              
I got a wonderful life two kids on my own
       Gb                         Gb7            
With a strong foundation that was carved in stone
       Gb                                         
And my mama for the love that made my house a home
        Db                                      
Made me wonder some time if this was meant to be
    Db7        Db            Db7        
All this for a humble little guy like me
    Gb7                                  
And all I ever really wanted was a family
            Gb                                     
To teach my kids the same value that she gave to me
         Db                                           
She said Son there'll be times when the tides are high
        Db                           
And the boat may be rocky you can cry
                Db
Just never give up
Gb                            
And you can never give up uhuh
        Db                                     
In this life you could lead if you only believe
       Db                            
And in order to achieve what you need
                   Gb
You can never give up
                       Gb
And you can never give up
