There was a time I was happy in my life
Dm C GThere was time I believed I'd live forever
Dm C GThere was a time that I prayed to Jesus Christ
There was a time I had a mother it was nice
Oh mother why aren't you here with me
Am Dm GNo one else saw the things that you could see
Am Dm GI'm trying hard to dry my tears
Yes father you know I'm not so free
Nobody else would ever take the place of you
Dm C GNobody else could do the things that you could do
Dm C GNo one else I guess could hurt me like you did
I didn't understand I was just a kid
Oh mother why aren't you here with me
Am Dm GNo one else saw the things that you could see
Am Dm GI'm trying hard to dry my tears
Yes father you know I'm not so free
I got to give it up
Dm GFind someone to love me
AmI got to let it go
Find someone that I can care for
AmI got to give it up
Dm GFind someone to love me
I got to let it go
Dm GFind someone that I can care for
Am
My mother died when I was five
Dm GAnd all I did was sit and cry
I cried and cried and cried all day
Dm GUntil the neighbours went away
AmThey couldn't take my loneliness
I couldn't take their phoniness
AmMy father had to go to work
Dm GI used to think he was a jerk
I didn't know his heart was broken
Dm GAnd not another word was spoken
AmHe became a shadow of
The father I was dreaming of
AmI made a vow that I would never need another person ever
Dm GTurned my heart into a cage a victim of a kind of rage
Am Dm G (2X)Am
I've got to give it up
Dm G AmFind somebody to love
Find someone that I can care for
I got to give it up
Dm GI got to give it up
AmI got to give it up
I got to give it up
Dm GI got to give it up
