Intro D Dsus2 D Dsus2 A7sus 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

    Asus              A
And beg for something more?
Chorus 1
D                     Em7              D
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                            Asus     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
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  A7sus  (repeat 2x)
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

            Asus            A
You know it doesn't keep me warm
Chorus 2
D               Em7              D

      G
But I miss you, baby

D                                     Bm
The more I know, the less I understand

        G                                 Asus          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
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

Bridge
          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; ‘cause life goes on

A
You keep carryin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside, baby

Final Chorus
D                            Em7
I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter

D
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
