>>Versão acústica


Introdução: D D9 D D4

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  D  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
