The Heart Of The Matter

≣≣
Tone: [D]
Intro -x4-:
[D] [D] [Dsus2] [D] [Dsus2] [Dsus4]
I got the [D]call today, that I [A]didn't wanna’ hear
But I [G]knew that it would come
[D]Old true friend of ours was [A]talking on the phone
She said you [G]found someone
And I [A]thought of all the bad luck,
And [A7]struggles we went through
How [G]I lost me and you lost you
[A]What are these voices out[A7]outside loves open door
Make us [G]throw of our contentment
And [A]beg for something more?
 
 
[D]I m learning to [G]live without you [Bm]now
But I [G]miss you sometimes
And the [D]more I know, [Bm]less I understand
All the [G]things I thought I knew, I m [A]learning again
[D]I've been trying to get down
[Bm]To the heart of the matter
But my [G]will gets weak
 
And my thoughts seem to scatter
So I think it s about [D]forgiveness
[Bm]Forgiveness
[G]Even if, even if [A]you don t love me any[D]anymore
 
Interlude -x2-:
[D] [D] [Dsus2] [D] [Dsus2] [Dsus4]
All these [D]times are so uncertain
Though the [A]yearning undefined
And then [G]people filled with rage
[D]We all need a little tenderness
[A]How can love survive in [G]such a graceless age?
[A]The trust and self-[A7]self-assurance that [A]leads to happiness
There the [G]very things we kill, I guess
Our [A]pride and compe[A7]competition
Can not [A]fill these empty arms
And the [G]work I put between us
You know it [A]doesn t keep me warm
 
 
[D]I m learning to [G]live without you [Bm]now
But I [G]miss you baby
And the [D]more I know, [Bm]less I understand
All the [G]things I thought I figured out
I [A]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
So I think it s about for[D]forgiveness
For[Bm]Forgiveness
[G]Even if, even if, [A]you don t love me any[D]anymore
 
 
There are [C]people in your life, [G]who ve come and gone
They [Am]let you down, you know they [G]hurt your pride
[C]You better put it all behind you baby; coz [G]life goes on
You keep [A]carrying that
anger, it will eat you up in[A7]inside, baby
 
 
[D]I've been trying to get down
[Bm]To the heart of the matter
But my [G]will gets weak
 
And my thoughts seem to scatter
So I think it s about for[D]forgiveness
For[Bm]Forgiveness
[G]Even if, even if [A]you don t love me any[D]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
So I think it s about for[D]forgiveness
For[Bm]Forgiveness
[G]Even if, even if [A]you don t love me [D]Forgiveness
For[Bm]Forgiveness baby
For[D]Forgiveness
For[Bm]Forgiveness
For[D]Forgiveness
[G]Even if, even if, [A]you don t love me any[D]anymore
