I Won't Give Up - Jason Mraz
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Andri
Email: globe194@hotmail.com
Tuning: D
!! Important, please read first !!
When you play this wonderful and simple song with standard- or drop D tuning
it won't sound half as powerful as Mraz's studio version.
So i tried to figure out a more powerful, but still "accurate" way to play this Song.
This is not the version Mraz plays ! But it's the most beautiful if you have only one guitar.
Enjoy, and please rate if you like it :) ...or comment if you find a mistake.

Note: This chorus is played very soft and silent,

to pick it to keep the dynamic of the song.

Bridge)
I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily i'm here to stay and
make the difference that i can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how they use the tools and gifts
we got yeah, we go a lot at stake
And in the end you're still my friend at least we did intend for us to
work, we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world cavin' in, i had to learn
what i got and what i'm not and who i am
