[Intro]
D Dsus2 D Dsus2 A7sus4 x4
[Verse 1]
D A I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear G But I knew that it would come D A An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone G She said you found someone A And I thought of all the bad luck,
And the struggles we went through
G How I lost me and you lost you A What are these voices outside love's open door G Make us throw off our contentment Asus4 A And beg for something more?
[Chorus 1]
D Em7 D/F# I've been learning to live without you now G But I miss you sometimes D Bm The more I know, the less I understand G Asus4 A All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again D Em7 I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter D/F# But my will gets weak G And my thoughts seem to scatter D But I think it's a - bout forgiveness Bm Forgiveness G A D Dsus2 D Dsus2 A7sus4 (x2) Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
[Verse 2]
D These times are so uncertain A There's a yearning undefined G And people filled with rage D We all need a little tenderness A G How can love survive in such a graceless age A And the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness G They're the very things we kill, I guess A Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms G And the work I put between us Asus4 A You know it doesn't keep me warm
[Chorus 2]
D Em7 D/F# I'm learning to live without you now G But I miss you, baby D Bm The more I know, the less I understand G Asus4 A All the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again D Em7 I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter D/F# But everything changes G And my friends seem to scatter D But I think it's a - bout forgiveness Bm Forgiveness G A D G D Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
[Bridge]
C G/B There are people in your life who've come and gone Am G/B They let you down, you know they hurt your pride C G/B You better put it all behind you, baby; ‘cause life goes on Asus4 A You keep carryin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside, baby
[Chorus 3]
D Em7 I’ve been tryin’ to get down, to the heart of the matter D/F# But my will gets weak G And my thoughts seem to scatter D But I think it's a - bout forgiveness Bm Forgiveness G A Even if, even if you don't love me
[Final Chorus]
D Em7 I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter D/F# Because the flesh will get weak G And the ashes will scatter D So, I'm thinkin' a - bout forgiveness Bm Forgiveness G A Even if, even if you don't love me D Em7 D/F# (Forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness, G D Bm forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness) G A Even if you don't love me anymore
[Outro]

This is my interpretation of the song and is what I hear. Since
U-G doesn't always include the correct chord voicings, I have
included all of them in this transcription. Please feel free to
experiment with your own chord voicings.
