[Verse 1]
---------------------
D                        A
 I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear
      G
But I knew that it would come
D                               A
 An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
             G
She said you found someone
      Asus4
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And the struggles we went through
        G
And how I lost me and you lost you
Asus4
     What are these voices outside love's open door
        G
Make us throw off our contentment
    Asus4              A
And beg  for something more?

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
D                    Em7
 I'm learning to live   without you now
D      G                 D
    But I miss you sometimes
                     Bm
The more I know, the less I understand
        G                            Asus4         A
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again
D                            Em7
 I've been trying to get down   to the Heart of the Matter
       D
But my will gets weak
G
 And my thoughts seem to scatter
                  D
But I think it's about forgiveness
Bm
  Forgiveness
G                Asus4          A
Even if, even if you  don't love me anymore

[Verse 2]
---------------------
      D
These times are so uncertain
          A
There's a yearning undefined
    G
And people filled with rage
      D
We all need a little tenderness
A                        G
 How can love survive in such a graceless age
Asus4
The  trust and selfassurance that lead to happiness
            G
They're the very things we kill, I guess
Asus4
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
        G
And the work I put between us,
            Asus4               A
You know it doesn't keep me warm

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
D                    Em7
 I'm learning to live   without you now
D      G
    But I miss you, baby
D                     Bm
 The more I know, the less I understand
        G                                 Asus4              A
All the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again
D                            Em7
 I've been trying to get down   to the heart of the matter
   D
But    everything changes
G
 And my friends seem to scatter
                  D
But I think it's about forgiveness
Bm
  Forgiveness
G                Asus4          A
Even if, even if you  don't love me anymore

[Bridge]
---------------------
D G D          C                         G
     There are people in your life who've   come and gone
     Am7                         G
They let you down, you know they hurt your pride
C                                       G
 You better put it all behind you, baby,   'cause life goes on
         Asus4                      A
You keep carrying that anger, it'll eat you up inside, baby

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
D                            Em7
 I've been trying to get down   to the Heart of the Matter
       D
But my will gets weak
G
 And my thoughts seem to scatter
                  D
But I think it's about forgiveness
Bm
  Forgiveness
G                Asus4          A
Even if, even if you  don't love me
D                            Em7
 I've been trying to get down   to the Heart of the Matter
            D
Because the flesh will get weak
G
 And the ashes will scatter
                 D
So I'm thinking about forgiveness
Bm
  Forgiveness
G                Asus4          A  D
Even if, even if you  don't love me
Em7    D G D Bm
   Baby
G        Asus4          A
 Even if you  don't love me anymore
