[Verse]
D A
I got the call today, I didn't want to hear
G G G* F#* E* D*
But I knew that it would come
D A
An old, true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
G G G* F#* E* D*
She said you found someone
A7Sus4 A7
And I thought of all the bad luck; And the struggles we went through
G G
how I lost me and you lost you
A7Sus4 A7
What are those voices outside love's open door
G | A7Sus4 | A7 |
Make us throw off our contentment; And beg for something more?
[Chorus]
D Em7 D/F#
I'm learning to live without you now
G
But I miss you sometimes
D Bm
The more I know, the less I understand,
G | A7Sus4 | A7 |
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again
D Em7
I've been tryin' to get down; To the heart of the matter
D/F# G
But my will gets weak And my thoughts seem to scatter
D Bm
But I think it's about forgiveness Forgiveness
G | A7Sus4 | A7 |
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

[Verse]
D A
These times are so uncertain There's a yearning undefined
G G G* F#* E* D*
People filled with rage
D
We all need a little tenderness
A G G G* F#* E* D*
How can love survive in such a graceless age?
A7sus4 A7
the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
G G
They're the very things we kill, I guess
A7Sus4 A7
Oh, pride and competition Cannot fill these empty arms
G | A7Sus4 | A7 |
And the work I put between us, doesn't keep me warm
[Chorus]
D Em7 D/F# G
I'm learning to live with out you now But I miss you sometimes
D Bm
And the more I know, the less I understand
G | A7Sus4 | A7 |
All the things I thought I'd figured out I have to learn again
D Em7
I've been trying to get down To the heart of the matter
D/F# G
But everything changes And my friends seem to scatter
D Bm
But I think it's about forgiveness Forgiveness
G | A7Sus4 | A7 | (D)-(D)----(Dsus4/E)-(D) | {Asus4} {A6} {D5} |
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
[Bridge]
[C] [G]
There are people in your life Who've come and gone
[Am] [G/B]
They let you down and hurt your pride

better put it all behind you baby; life goes on
[A7Sus4] [A7]
You keep carrying that anger; It'll eat you up inside
