Verse 1

       F5                      C5
Busted wire and the tattered tongue
          Bb5                   F5
Songs she wrote but she never sung
       F5             C5
Quiet eve of another year
             Bb5
She'll soon forget

  Verse 2

              F5                    C5
Her blackened lungs from the cigarettes
           Bb5                      F5
Her mother smoke' when her father left
             F5                   C5
She sings a song in this side of town
              Bb5
To change her mind

  Chorus

             D5              A5  
And she said I have hope for others
        Bb5           F5    C5
Father, I have given up
       D5               A5  
'Cause I have hope for others
        Bb5  Bb5          F5   Ab5   Bb5   C#5
Father, I---I have given up

F5   Ab5   Bb5

  Verse 3

Quart' to ten in the room below
Busted wares suppose they'll need to know
Close her eyes and hums a song
That made her smile

  Verse 4

Grabs a note and reads aloud
"The passion new'd make a mother proud
I miss you so, it seems we all much going on"

  Chorus
                D5              A5
Cause she wrote I have hope for others
            Bb5             F5  C5
But Mother, I must go alone
     D5              A5
Yes, I have hope for others
        Bb5  Bb5          F5   Ab5   Bb5   C#5
Mother, I---I have given up.

In my heart, in my heart, in my heart,
      F5            Ab5           Bb5
In my heart, in my heart, in my heart

In my heart, in my heart, in my heart,
      Ab5           Bb5           C#5
in my heart, in my heart, In my heart
                     F5
