Dm C G
There was a time I was happy in my life
Dm C G
There was time I believed I'd live forever
Dm C G
There was a time that I prayed to Jesus Christ
Dm C G
There was a time I had a mother it was nice
Am F Dm
Oh mother why aren't you here with me
Am F Dm
No one else saw the things that you could see
Am F Dm
I'm trying hard to dry my tears
Am F
Yes father you know I'm not so free
Dm C G
Nobody else would ever take the place of you
Dm C G
Nobody else could do the things that you could do
Dm C G
No one else I guess could hurt me like you did
Dm C G
I didn't understand I was just a kid
Am F Dm
Oh mother why aren't you here with me
Am F Dm
No one else saw the things that you could see
Am F Dm
I'm trying hard to dry my tears
Am F Dm
Yes father you know I'm not so free
Am
I got to give it up
F
Find someone to love me
Am
I got to let it go
F
Find someone that I can care for
Am
I got to give it up
F
Find someone to love me
Am
I got to let it go
F
Find someone that I can care for
Am
My mother died when I was five
F
And all I did was sit and cry
Am
I cried and cried and cried all day
F
Until the neighbours went away
Am
They couldn't take my loneliness
F
I couldn't take their phoniness
Am
My father had to go to work
F
I used to think he was a jerk
Am
I didn't know his heart was broken
F
And not another word was spoken
Am
He became a shadow of
F
The father I was dreaming of
Am
I made a vow that I would never need another person ever
F
Turned my heart into a cage a victim of a kind of rage
Am F
Am
I've got to give it up
F
Find somebody to love
Am
Find someone that I can care for
Am
I've got to give it up
F
Find somebody to love
Am
Find someone that I can care for
Am
I got to give it up
F
I got to give it up
Am
I got to give it up
F
I got to give it up
Am
I got to give it up
F
I got to let it go
Am F
I got to give it up
Am
Oh mother
F
Oh father
Am F
I got to give it up
Am F Am F Am
