Intro Riff x 4 Verse 1: I got the call today And I didn't want to hear But I knew that it would come An old true friend of ours Was talking on the phone She said you'd 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 all these voices Outside love's open door Make us throw off our contentment And beg for something more Chorus: I'm 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 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 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 ) 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 babe 'Cuz life goes on 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
