Tom: C

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              Dm               G
  Oh mother why aren't you here with me
Am              Dm               G
  No one else saw the things that you could see
Am              Dm               G
  I'm trying hard to dry my tears
Am              Dm               G
  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              Dm               G
  Oh mother why aren't you here with me
Am              Dm               G
  No one else saw the things that you could see
Am              Dm               G
  I'm trying hard to dry my tears
Am              Dm               G
  Yes father you know I'm not so free



Am
I got to give it up
Dm               G
Find someone to love me
Am
I got to let it go
Dm               G
Find someone that I can care for
Am
I got to give it up
Dm               G
Find someone to love me
Am
I got to let it go
Dm               G
Find someone that I can care for

   Am
My mother died when I was five
    Dm            G
And all I did was sit and cry
  Am
I cried and cried and cried all day
   Dm          G
Until the neighbours went away
     Am
They couldn't take my loneliness
                               Dm G
I couldn't take their phoniness
   Am
My father had to go to work
                             Dm G
I used to think he was a jerk
  Am
I didn't know his heart was broken
    Dm           G
And not another word was spoken
Am
He became a shadow of
     Dm            G
The father I was dreaming of
  Am
I made a vow that I would never need another person ever
            Dm                   G
Turned 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       Am
Find somebody to love
Dm           G
Find someone that I can care for

Am
I got to give it up
       Dm          G
I got to give it up
                 Am
I got to give it up
I got to give it up
Dm       G
I got to give it up
