Standard (EADGBE)

 Busted wire and the tattered tongue

 Songs she wrote but she never sung

 Quiet eve of another year

 She'll soon forget

Verse 2

 Her blackened lungs from the cigarettes

 Her mother smoke' when her father left

 She sings a song in this side of town

 To change her mind

Chorus

 And she said I have hope for others

 Father, I have given up

 'Cause I have hope for others

 Father, I---I have given up

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

 Cause she wrote I have hope for others

 But Mother, I must go alone

 Yes, I have hope for others

 Mother, I---I have given up.

Outro

Well I've, I've given up

Well I, I, I, I have given up

Yeah, I've given up

My love, my God, I've given up

 In my heart, in my heart, in my heart,

 In my heart, in my heart, in my heart

 I have, I have given up

 In my heart, in my heart, in my heart,

 in my heart, in my heart, In my heart

 I have, I have given up

End on Db.
