Intro Riff x 4
Verse 1:
RE
I got the call today
LA
And I didn't want to hear
SOL
But I knew that it would come
RE
An old true friend of ours
LA
Was talking on the phone
SOL
She said you'd found someone
LA
And I thought of all the bad luck
LA7
And the struggles we went through
SOL
How I lost me, and you lost you
LA
What are all these voices
LA7
Outside love's open door
SOL
Make us throw off our contentment
LA
And beg for something more
Chorus
RE LA/MI SIm/FA#
I'm learning to live without you now
SOL
But I miss you sometimes
RE SIm
The more I know, the less I understand
SOL
All the things I thought I knew
LA
I'm learning again
RE
I've been trying to get down
LA/MI
To the heart of the matter
SIm/FA#
But my will gets weak
SOL
And my thoughts seem to scatter
RE
But I think it's about
SIm
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
SOL LA
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:
DO
There are people in your life
SOL/SI
Who've come and gone
LAm
They let you down
SOL
You know they hurt your pride
DO
You better put it all behind you babe
SOL/SI
'Cuz life goes on
LA
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)
