    Intro Riff x 4
     
  • Verse 1:
    D
    I got the call today
  • A
    And I didn't want to hear
    G
  • But I knew that it would come
    D
    An old true friend of ours
  • A
    Was talking on the phone
    G
  • She said you'd found someone
     
    A
  • And I thought of all the bad luck
    A7
    And the struggles we went through
  • G
    How I lost me, and you lost you
    A
  • What are all these voices
    A7
    Outside love's open door
  • G
    Make us throw off our contentment
    A
  • And beg for something more
     
     
  • Chorus:
    D A/E Bm/F#
    I'm learning to live without you now
  • G
    But I miss you sometimes
    D Bm
  • The more I know, the less I understand
    G
    All the things I thought I knew
  • A
    I'm learning again
     
  • D
    I've been trying to get down
    A/E
  • To the heart of the matter
    Bm/F#
    But my will gets weak
  • G
    And my thoughts seem to scatter
    D
  • But I think it's about
    Bm
    Forgiveness, Forgiveness
  • G A
    Even if, Even if you don't love me anymore
     
  • Intro Riff X2
     
    (same pattern as first verse):
  • Ah these times are so uncertain
    There's a yearning undefined
    People filled with rage
  • We all need a little tenderness
    How can love survive
    In such a graceless age
  • Oh the trust and self-assurance
    That lead to happiness
    They're the very things we kill I guess
  • Oh pride and competition
    Cannot fill these empty arms
    And the work I put between us
  • You know it doesn't keep me warm
     
    Chorus:
  • I'm learning to live without you now
    But I miss you baby
    The more I know, the less I understand
  • All the things I thought I figured out
    I have to learn again
     
  • I've been trying to get down
    To the heart of the matter
    But everything changesgets weak
  • And my friends seem to scatter
    But I think it's about
    Forgiveness, Forgiveness
  • Even if, Even if you don't love me anymore
     
    (instead of riff 1, play 2 bars of D)
  •  
    Bridge:
    C
  • There are people in your life
    G/B
    Who've come and gone
  • Am
    They let you down
    G
  • You know they hurt your pride
    C
    You better put it all behind you babe
  • G/B
    'Cuz life goes on
    A
  • You keep carrying that anger
     
    It'll eat you up inside baby
  •  
    Chorus:
    I've been trying to get down
  • To the heart of the matter
    But my will gets weak
    And my thoughts seem to scatter
  • But I think it's about
    Forgiveness, Forgiveness
    Even if, Even if you don't love me
  •  
    I've been trying to get down
    To the heart of the matter
  • Because the flesh will get weak
    And the ashes will scatter
    But I think it's about
  • Forgiveness, Forgiveness
    Even if, Even if you don't love me
     
  • (follow pattern of chorus and fade out)
