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
