I got the call today [A] I didn't want to hear
But [G] I knew that it would come An _ _ _
[D] old true friend of ours was talking [A] on
the phone She [G] said you found someone _ _ _ _ _
[A] I thought of all the bad [A] luck And the struggles we went through
[G] How I lost me You lost you _
[A] Where are these voices?
That sad love's open door
[G] Make us know our pockets have been filled [A] And beg for something more
[D] _ I'm learning to [Em] live without you [D] now Oh, [G] but I miss you sometimes
The [D] more I know, [Bm] 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
[Em] To the heart of the matter But [D] my world gets weak
[G] And my thoughts seem to scatter But I [D] think it's about
Forgiveness, [Bm] _ _ forgiveness [G] Even if, even if
[A] You don't love me [D] anymore _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ All these times were so uncertain
[A] Busy and ain't undefined [G] And people filled with rage
_ _ We [D] all need a little tenderness [A] How can love survive
[G] In such a graceless age? _ _ _
[A] Oh, trust and self-assurance
That lead to happiness [G] Are the very things we kill, I guess
[A] Oh, pride and competition Cannot fill these empty arms
[G] And the work I've put between us [A] You know it doesn't keep me [D] warm
I'm learning [Em] to live without you [D] now _ [G] Oh, but I miss you, baby _
[D] The more I know, [Bm] the less I understand [G] All the things I thought I figured out
[A] I have to learn again [D] I've been trying to get down
[Em] To the heart of the matter [D] But everything [G] changes
And my friends seem to scatter But I [D] think it's about
_ _ [Bm] Forgiveness, forgiveness [G] Even if, even [A] if
You don't love me [D] anymore _ _ _ _ [E] _
[C] There are people in your life
_ [Bm] Who've come and gone [Am] Let you down
[G] You know they hurt you bad [C] You better put it all behind [G] you, baby
Cause life goes on You keep [A] carrying that anger
It'll eat you up inside, [D] baby I've been trying to get [Em] down
