[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
A
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And the struggles we went through
G
How I lost me and you lost you
A
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 D/F#
I've been learning to live without you now
G
But I miss you sometimes
D 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 tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
D/F#
But my will gets weak
G
And my thoughts seem to scatter
D
But I think it's a - bout forgiveness
Bm
Forgiveness

[Próxima Parte]
G
A D Dsus2 D Dsus2 A7sus4 (x2)
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
A
And the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
G
They're the very things we kill, I guess
A
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 D/F#
I'm learning to live without you now
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 tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
D/F#
But everything changes
G
And my friends seem to scatter
D
But I think it's a - bout forgiveness
Bm
Forgiveness
G A D G D
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

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

[Chorus 3]
[Próxima Parte]
G A
Even if, even if you don't love me

[Final Chorus]
D Em7
I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
D/F#
Because the flesh will get weak
G
And the ashes will scatter
D
So, I'm thinkin' a - bout forgiveness
Bm
Forgiveness
G A
Even if, even if you don't love me
D Em7 D/F#
(Forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness,
G D Bm
forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness)
G A
Even if you don't love me anymore

This is my interpretation of the song and is what I hear. Since
U-G doesn't always include the correct chord voicings, I have
included all of them in this transcription. Please feel free to
experiment with your own chord voicings.
