Intro
D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2 D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2 A7sus4A7sus4 (repeat 4x)
Verse 1
D MajorD A augmentedA
I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear
G+G
But I knew that it would come
D MajorD A augmentedA
An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
G+G
She said you found someone
A augmentedA
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And the struggles we went through
G+G
How I lost me and you lost you
A augmentedA
What are these voices outside love's open door
G+G
Make us throw off our contentment
Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
And beg for something more?
Chorus 1
D MajorD E minor 7Em7 D/F#D/F#
I've been learning to live without you now
G+G
But I miss you sometimes
D MajorD B minorBm
The more I know, the less I understand
G+G Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again
D MajorD E minor 7Em7
I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
D/F#D/F#
But my will gets weak
G+G
And my thoughts seem to scatter
D MajorD
But I think it's a - bout forgiveness
B minorBm
Forgiveness
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2 D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2 A7sus4A7sus4 (repeat 2x)
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
Verse 2
D MajorD
These times are so uncertain
A augmentedA
There's a yearning undefined
G+G
And people filled with rage
D MajorD
We all need a little tenderness
A augmentedA G+G
How can love survive in such a graceless age
A augmentedA
And the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
G+G
They're the very things we kill, I guess
A augmentedA
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
G+G
And the work I put between us
Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
You know it doesn't keep me warm
Chorus 2
D MajorD E minor 7Em7 D/F#D/F#
I'm learning to live without you now
G+G
But I miss you, baby
D MajorD B minorBm
The more I know, the less I understand
G+G Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
All the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again
D MajorD E minor 7Em7
I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
D/F#D/F#
But everything changes
G+G
And my friends seem to scatter
D MajorD
But I think it's a - bout forgiveness
B minorBm
Forgiveness
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
Bridge
C majorC G+G
There are people in your life who've come and gone
A minorAm G/BG/B
They let you down, you know they hurt your pride
C majorC G+G
You better put it all behind you, baby; ‘cause life goes on
A augmentedA
You keep carryin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside, baby
Chorus 3
D MajorD E minor 7Em7
I’ve been tryin’ to get down, to the heart of the matter
D/F#D/F#
But my will gets weak
G+G
And my thoughts seem to scatter
D MajorD
But I think it's a - bout forgiveness
B minorBm
Forgiveness
G+G A augmentedA
Even if, even if you don't love me
Final Chorus
D MajorD E minor 7Em7
I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
D/F#D/F#
Because the flesh will get weak
G+G
And the ashes will scatter
D MajorD
So, I'm thinkin' a - bout forgiveness
B minorBm
Forgiveness
G+G A augmentedA
Even if, even if you don't love me
D MajorD E minor 7Em7 D/F#D/F#
(Forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness,
G+G D MajorD B minorBm
forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness)
G+G A augmentedA
Even if you don't love me anymore
D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2 D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2 A7sus4A7sus4 (repeat 2x)

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
