Intro Riff x 4
Verse 1:
DI got the call today
And I Adidn't want to hear
But I Gknew that it would come
DAn old true friend of ours
Was Atalking on the phone
She said you'd Gfound someone
And I Athought of all the bad luck
And the A7struggles we went through
How GI lost me, and you lost you
AWhat are all these voices
OutA7side love's open door
Make us Gthrow off our contentment
And Abeg for something more
Chorus:
DI'm learning to A/Elive without you Bm/F#now
But I Gmiss you sometimes
DThe more I know, the Bmless I understand
All the Gthings I thought I knew
I'm Alearning again
DI've been trying to get down
A/ETo the heart of the matter
But my Bm/F#will gets weak
GAnd my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's Dabout
Forgiveness, BmForgiveness
GEven if, Even if Ayou 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 D)
Bridge:
There are Cpeople in your life
G/BWho've come and gone
They Amlet you down
You know they Ghurt your pride
CYou better put it all behind you babe
'Cuz G/Blife goes on
You keep Acarrying 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
(follow pattern of chorus and fade out)

Who can show me what laughter means

In each others paint-by-number dreams" -- Jackson Browne
