[Intro]
[D] [Dsus2] [D] [Dsus2] [A7sus] [(repeat] [4x)]
[Verse1]
[D]I got the call today, I [A]didn't wanna hear
But I [G]knew that it would come
[D]An old true friend of ours was [A]talkin' on the phone
She said you [G]found someone
And I [A]thought of all the bad luck,
 
And the struggles we went through
How [G]I lost me and you lost you
[A]What are these voices outside love's open door
Make us [G]throw off our contentment
And [Asus]beg for something [A]more?
 
[Chorus1]
[D]I've been learning to [Em7]live without you [D/F#]now
But I [G]miss you sometimes
[D]The more I know, the [Bm]less I understand
All the [G]things I thought I knew, I'm [Asus]learning [A]again
[D]I've been tryin' to get down [Em7]to the heart of the matter
But my [D/F#]will gets weak
[G]And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's a - [D]bout forgiveness
[Bm]Forgiveness
[G]Even if, even if [A]you don't love
me anymore [D] [Dsus2] [D] [Dsus2] [A7sus] [(repeat] [2x)]
 
[Verse2]
These [D]times are so uncertain
There's a [A]yearning undefined
And [G]people filled with rage
[D]We all need a little tenderness
[A]How can love survive in [G]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
And the [G]work I put between us
You know it [Asus]doesn't keep me [A]warm
 
[Chorus2]
[D]I'm learning to [Em7]live without you [D/F#]now
But I [G]miss you, baby
[D]The more I know, the less I understand[Bm]understand
All the [G]things I thought I figured out, I [Asus]have to learn [A]again
[D]I've been tryin' to get down [Em7]to the heart of the matter
[D/F#]But everything changes
[G]And my friends seem to scatter
But I think it's a - [D]bout forgiveness
[Bm]Forgiveness
[G]Even if, even if [A]you don't love me anymore [D] [G] [D]
 
[Bridge]
There are [C]people in your life who've [G]come and gone
They [Am]let you down, you know they hurt [G/B]your pride
You [C]better put it all behind you, baby; [G]cause life goes on
[A]You keep carryin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside, baby
 
[Chorus3]
[D]I’ve been tryin’ to get down, [Em7]to the heart of the matter
[D/F#]But my will gets weak
[G]And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's a - [D]bout forgiveness
[Bm]Forgiveness
[G]Even if, even if [A]you don't love me
 
[Finalchorus]
[D]I've been tryin' to get down [Em7]to the heart of the matter
[D/F#]Because the flesh will get weak
[G]And the ashes will scatter
So, I'm thinkin' a - [D]bout forgiveness
[Bm]Forgiveness
[G]Even if, even if [A]you don't love me
([D](Forgiveness, [Em7]forgiveness, [D/F#]forgiveness,
[G]forgiveness, [D]forgiveness, [Bm]forgiveness)
[G]Even if [A]you don't love me anymore
