[Dm] There was a time I was [C]happy in my [G]life
[Dm] There was time I [C]believed I'd live [G]forever
[Dm] There was a time that I [C]prayed to Jesus [G]Christ
[Dm] There was a time I had a [C]mother it was [G]nice
[Am] Oh mother why [F]aren't you here with [Dm]me
[Am] No one else saw the [F]things that you could [Dm]see
[Am] I'm trying [F]hard to dry my [Dm]tears
[Am] Yes father you know [F]I'm not so free
[Dm] Nobody else would ever [C]take the place of [G]you
[Dm] Nobody else could do the [C]things that you could [G]do
[Dm] No one else I guess could [C]hurt me like you [G]did
[Dm] I didn't understand [C]I was just a [G]kid
[Am] Oh mother why [F]aren't you here with [Dm]me
[Am] No one else saw the [F]things that you could [Dm]see
[Am] I'm trying [F]hard to dry my [Dm]tears
[Am] Yes father you know [F]I'm not so [Dm]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
My [Am]mother died when I was five
And [F]all I did was sit and cry
I [Am]cried and cried and cried all day
Un[F]til the neighbours went away
They [Am]couldn't take my loneliness
I couldn't take their phoniness[F]
My [Am]father had to go to work
I used to think he was a jerk[F]
I [Am]didn't know his heart was broken
And [F]not another word was spoken
[Am]He became a shadow of
The [F]father I was dreaming of
I [Am]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]I got to give it up[F]
[Am]Oh mother
[F]Oh father
[Am]I got to give it up[F]
[Am] [F] [Am] [F] [Am]
