     D         A
I got the call today, that I didn't wanna' hear
   G           D string 5th fret, 4th fret, 2nd fret, open, then D
chord
But I knew that it would come
D              A
Old true friend of ours was talking on the phone
       G       D string 5th fret, 4th fret, 2nd fret, open, then A chord
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

D D Dsus2 D Dsus2 Dsus4 2x

     D
All these times are so uncertain
      A
Though the yearning undefined
     G           D string 5th fret, 4th fret, 2nd fret, open, then D
chord
And then people filled with rage
D
We all need a little tenderness
A            G     D string 5th fret, 4th fret, 2nd fret, open, then
A
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

Forgiveness - baby
