 D                                                               A 
I got the call today and I didn't want to hear
               G 
But I knew that it would come
   D                                                                   A 
An old true friend of ours was talking on the phone
                                 G 
She said you'd found someone
               A                                                                   A7 
And I thought of all the bad luck and the struggles we went through
         G 
How I lost me, and you lost you
 A                                                                     A7 
What are all these voices outside love's open door?
                 G                                                           A 
Make us throw off our contentment and beg for something more
Chorus
   D                                 A                                       Bm                           G 
I'm learning to live without you now, but I miss you sometimes
   D                                                   Bm 
The more I know, the less I understand
                     G                                                                           A 
All the things I thought I knew I'm   learning again
 D                                                                               D/E 
I've been trying to get down to the heart of the matter
                   Bm                                     G 
But my       will gets weak and my thoughts seem to scatter
                                             D                                         Bm 
But I think it's about forgiveness, forgiveness
 G                                       A 
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
                             D                                                           A 
Ah these times are so uncertain, there's a yearning undefined
 G 
People filled with rage
 D                                                                                       A                                                               G 
We all need a little tenderness How can love survive in such a graceless age?
                       A                                   A7                                     A 
Oh the trust and self-assurance that leads to happiness
                                     G 
They're the very things we kill, I guess
       A                                             A7                           A 
Oh pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
                           G                                                                                               A 
And the work I put between us you know it doesn't keep me warm
Chorus
 D                                       D/E                                   Bm               G 
I'm learning to live without you now, but I miss you baby
 D                                                           Bm 
The more I know, the less I understand
                       G                                                                                 A 
All the things I thought I figured out I have to learn again
 D                                                                               D/E 
I've been trying to get down to the heart of the matter
 Bm                                                                   G 
But everything changes and my friends seem to scatter
                                           D                                                         Bm 
But I think it's about forgiveness, forgiveness
 G                                         A   D       D9  D 
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
Bridge
   C                                                             G/B 
There are [C]people in your life who've come and gone
                 Am                                                                           G 
They let you down, you know they hurt your pride
 C                                                                                                                 G/B 
You better put it all behind you babe cuz life goes on
                               A 
You keep carrying that anger, it'll eat you up inside baby
Chorus
 D                                                                               D/E 
I've been trying to get down to the heart of the matter
 Bm                                                                         G 
But my will gets weak and my thoughts seem to scatter
                                             D                                                           Bm 
But I think it's about forgiveness, forgiveness
 G                                         A 
Even if, even if you don't love me
 D                                                                             D/E 
I've been trying to get down to the heart of the matter
                                       Bm                                                     G 
Because the flesh will get weak and the ashes will scatter
                                             D                                                 Bm 
But I think it's about forgiveness, forgiveness
 G                                         A 
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
