Intro Riff x 4

Verse 1:
D
I got the call today
      Asus4
And I didn't want to hear
      G
But I knew that it would come
D
An old true friend of ours
    Asus4
Was talking on the phone
               G
She said you'd found someone

      Asus4
And I thought of all the bad luck
        
And the struggles we went through
    G
How I lost me, and you lost you
Asus4
What are all these voices
   
Outside love's open door
        G
Make us throw off our contentment
    Asus4
And beg for something more

Chorus:
D               Em7             D/F# 
I'm learning to live without you now
      G
But I miss you sometimes
Asus4                  G/B
The more I know, the less I understand
        G
All the things I thought I knew
    Asus4
I'm learning again

D
I've been trying to get down
Em7 
To the heart of the matter
       D/F# 
But my will gets weak
G
And my thoughts seem to scatter
                 Asus4
But I think it's about
             G/B
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
G                Asus4
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:
          Cadd9
There are people in your life
G/B 
Who've come and gone
     Asus4
They let you down
              G/B
You know they hurt your pride
Cadd9
You better put it all behind you babe
     G/B 
'Cuz life goes on
         Asus4
You keep carrying that anger
         Asus4
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)
