Capo 1st fret


Intro:
Am - F - C - G (x4)


Verse 1:
Am
I remember when you took a stand
         F
With the pearl of wisdom in your hand
C                  G
 And a soul of desire
    Am
You held your own against the world
  F
A lion's heart in a little girl
C                     G
 So unafraid of the fire
           Am
But those days won't last
        F
Sweet dreams die fast
  C                              G
A stumble when you walk on the wire
      Am
When all your friends
       F
Start giving in
    C                                 G
The flames are burning higher and higher


Chorus:
             Am     F
Don't give up Andrea
          C                     G
Got the whole world at your feet
            Am           F
Just keep on - holding on
          C                 G
This is where you need to be


Verse 2 (same as verse 1):
All the days that you've been spending
Spinning while your heart's descending
Like a stone in the ocean
Sometimes when you think the world is ending
It's really just a new beginning
The other side of emotion
But I've seen your eyes no compromise
When you set your mind on the matter
Be strong through the tears
And your sight will clear
You're gonna get what you're after


Chorus (x2)


Bridge:
Am           C                      G
 Don't be surprised when the road divides
Am             C                  F  G  Ab
 Just take the one less traveled by


Chorus (key change):
             Bbm    F#
Don't give up Andrea
          C#                    Ab
Got the whole world at your feet
            Bbm          F#
Just keep on - holding on
          C#                Ab
This is where you need to be


(repeat chorus 3 more times)


Outro:
Bbm - F# - C# - Ab (repeat and fade to end)
