Intro -x4-: D D Dsus2 D  Dsus2 Dsus4

          D                  A
I got the call today, that I didn't wanna’ hear 
      G                      
But I knew that it would come 
D                           A
Old true friend of ours was talking on the phone 
             G             
She said you found someone 
      A      
And I thought of all the bad luck, 
    A7
And struggles we went through 
    G
How I lost me and you lost you 
A                        A7
What are these voices outside loves open door 
        G  
Make us throw of our contentment 
    A
And beg for something more? 


D               G                Bm
I m learning to live without you now 
      G
But I miss you sometimes 
        D            Bm
And the more I know, less I understand 
        G                            A
All the things I thought I knew, I m learning again 
D                  
I've been trying to get down 
Bm
To the heart of the matter 
       G
But my will gets weak 

And my thoughts seem to scatter 
                      D     
So I think it s about forgiveness 
Bm
Forgiveness 
G                A                    D
Even if, even if you don t love me anymore 

Interlude -x2-: D D Dsus2 D  Dsus2 Dsus4

          D   
All these times are so uncertain 
           A
Though the yearning undefined 
         G                   
And then people filled with rage 
D
We all need a little tenderness 
A                       G      
How can love survive in such a graceless age? 
A                  A7             A
The trust and self-assurance that leads to happiness 
          G
There the very things we kill, I guess 
    A              A7
Our pride and competition 
        A
Can not fill these empty arms 
        G
And the work I put between us 
            A
You know it doesn t keep me warm 


D               G                Bm
I m learning to live without you now 
      G
But I miss you baby 
        D            Bm
And the more I know, less I understand 
        G              
All the things I thought I figured out 
  A
I have to learn again 
D
I've been trying to get down 
Bm
To the heart of the matter 
G
But everything changes 
    
And my friends seem to scatter 
                         D     
So I think it s about forgiveness 
   Bm
Forgiveness 
G                 A                    D
Even if, even if, you don t love me anymore 


          C                    G
There are people in your life, who ve come and gone 
     Am                          G
They let you down, you know they hurt your pride 
C                                           G
You better put it all behind you baby;  coz life goes on 
         A                                         A7
You keep carrying that anger, it will eat you up inside, baby 


D                  
I've been trying to get down 
Bm
To the heart of the matter 
       G
But my will gets weak 

And my thoughts seem to scatter 
                         D     
So I think it s about forgiveness 
   Bm
Forgiveness 
G                A                    D
Even if, even if you don t love me anymore 
D 
I've been trying to get down 
Bm
To the heart of the matter 
G
But my will gets weak 
       
And my ashes seem to scatter 
                         D     
So I think it s about forgiveness 
   Bm
Forgiveness 
G                A                  D
Even if, even if you don t love me  Forgiveness
   Bm
Forgiveness  baby
   D
Forgiveness
   Bm
Forgiveness
   D
Forgiveness
G                 A                    D
