Mother And Father Acoustic
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
