I heard this song on One Tree Hill and instantly fell in love with it - Jana Kramer has
such a beautiful voice! This is my first one of these and so the chords may not be
totally accurate but I tried!
Also, I taught myself to play the guitar (the piano's what I usually play) and so don't
really know about tabs and things but I'll try to describe how I play it at different
points instead of using the proper notation!
Introduction
(Whilst doing D Chord fingering) I pluck these strings:
D B E G B D (teeny pause)
E(2nd fret) E(3rd fret) E(5th fret) E(5th fret)
(If you listen to her performance it should be easier to understand and then for the
verses and choruses I tend to play a similar thing to the first part of the introduction)
[Verse]
D A G
Don't tell me love is something you won't try again
A
That's just not true
D A G
But baby right now maybe what you need's a friend
A
Well I'm here for you
[Chorus]
D A
I will be by your side
Em G
If ever you fall deep in the dead of the night
D
Whenever you call
A
And I won't change my mind
Em G
No I'll see you through
G A
And I won't give up
(I like to pluck the E and D strings together twice for the G, then the A and D chords
twice for the A chord - she sort of does that in the acoustic version ... sort of)
G A
No I won't give up
G A D
I won't give up on you
(Repeat introduction)
[Verse]
D A G
You need someone who knows you from the inside out
A
The way I do
D A G
I've seen you walk the wire never looking down
A
I believe in you
[Chorus]
D A
I will be by your side
Em G
If ever you fall deep in the dead of the night
D
Whenever you call
A
And I won't change my mind
Em G
No I'll see you through
G A
And I won't give up
G A
No I won't give up
G A D
I won't give up on you
D A
I will be by your side
Em G
If ever you fall deep in the dead of the night
G A
And I won't give up
G A
No I won't give up
G A D
I won't give up on you
G A
You can call it love
G A D (slow, gentle strum)
But I won't give up on you
Hopefully it's not too badly wrong! Enjoy :)
