[Intro]
D Dsus2 D Dsus2 A7sus (repeat 4x)
[Verse 1]
I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
She said you found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And the struggles we went through
How I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside love's open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?
[Chorus 1]
I've been learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again
I've been tryin' 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 a - bout forgiveness
Forgiveness
G A D Dsus2 D Dsus2 A7sus (repeat 2x)
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
[Verse 2]
These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
And people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age
And the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us
You know it doesn't keep me warm
[Chorus 2]
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 tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
But everything changes
And my friends seem to scatter
But I think it's a - bout forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
[Bridge]
There are people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down, you know they hurt your pride
You better put it all behind you, baby; ‘cause life goes on
You keep carryin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside, baby
[Chorus 3]
I’ve been tryin’ 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 a - bout forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me
[Final Chorus]
I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So, I'm thinkin' a - bout forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me
(Forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness,
forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness)
Even if you don't love me anymore
[Outro]

This is my interpretation of the song and is what I hear. Since
U-G doesn't always include the correct chord voicings, I have
included all of them in this transcription. Please feel free to
experiment with your own chord voicings.
