Live in hope of love and wait to die Sadness all around us makes for crying Feelings that once meant so much Are left to dry and turn to dust, and ashes We learn to wheel and deal and say goodbye Madness all around us makes for dyin' Young deceivers soon turn old Are left to die amongst their gold and cashes Give it up Or we'll end on the rocks (give it up) Give it up (give it up) Give it up, give yourself time Give it up, your saviour's in shock (give it up) Give it up (give it up) Give it up (give it up) We drive a million miles to see the sun Hoping we are not too late for saving The Lord will smile on you today Give you love that you can trade For matches, TVs, and movie stars And driving cars is catching Give it up Or we'll end on the rocks (give it up) Give it up (give it up) Give it up, give yourself time (give it up) Give it up, your saviour's in shock (give it up) Give it up (give it up) Give it up (give it up) [guitar solo (Joey Molland)]: (Give it up, give it up, give it up) (Give it up, give it up, give it up) (Give it up, give it up, give it up) (Give it up, give it up, give it up) (Give it up, give it up, give it up) (Give it up, give it up, give it up).
