Verse 1
(From the 1981 Album HOLLYWOOD, TENNESSEE)
Intro
[A]
Verse 1
[A]For all the times you stood by me
[F#m]Through right and wrong
For [Bm]being there to catch me when I'd [D][Dm]fall
I [A]love you for your faith in me
For [F#m]all the joys you've [E]given me
But there's [A]one thing makes me [E]love you most of [A]all
Chorus
You [F#m]never gave up on [B]me when I was [E]giving love up on [A]you
Every [D#m]time I thought this [G#]love can't work
You [C#m]stayed to see it [C#]through
You [F#m]never gave up on [B]me when I was [E]making
Things rough on [A]you
And you [D#m7]showed me what it [G#]really means to [E]love somebody
Verse 2
And [A]though sometimes we might not see things [F#m]eye to eye
You've [Bm]always met me more than half the [Dm]way
So for [A]all the times I've let you down
And you [F#m]could have packed your [A]things and gone
I love you most of [E]all because you [A]stayed
Chorus
You [F#m]never gave up on [B]me when I was [E]giving love up on [A]you
Never [D#m]mattered who was [G#7]right or wrong
You [C#m]stayed to see it [C#]through
You [F#m]never gave up on [B]me
When I was [E]making things rough on [A]you
And you [D#m]showed me what it [G#7]really means to [C#]love
Bridge
There were [F#]times I just knew you
Did not [C#m]understand the moods
All those [D#m]long and sleepless [G#]nights I put us [C#]through
But you stuck [F#]by me anyway
Gave me [C#m]love [A#m]everyday
And now there's [D#]nothing
In this world I wouldn't [G#]do for you
Chorus
Cause you [F#m]never gave up on [B]me
When I was [E]giving love up on [A]you
Every [D#m]time I thought this [G#7]love can't work
You [C#m]stayed to see it [C#]through
You [F#m]never gave up on [B]me when
I was [E]making things rough on [A]you
And you [D#m]showed me what it [G#7]really means to [C#]love
Cause you [F#m]never gave up on me[B]
When I was [E]giving love up on [A]you
Every [D#m]time I thought this [G#7]love can't work
You [C#m]stayed to see it [C#]through
You [F#m]never gave up on [B]me when
I was [E]making things rough on [A]you
And you [D#m]showed me what it [G#7]really means to [C#]love
You [F#m]never gave up on [B]me when
