^DI m learning to ^Glive without you ^Bmnow But I ^Gmiss you sometimes And the ^Dmore I know, ^Bmless I understand All the ^Gthings I thought I knew, I m ^Alearning again ^DI ve been trying to get down ^BmTo the heart of the matter But my ^Gwill gets weak

So I think it s about ^Dforgiveness ^BmForgiveness ^GEven if, even if ^Ayou don t love me any^Dmore

All these ^Dtimes are so uncertain Though the ^Ayearning undefined G D string 5th fret, 4th fret, 2nd fret, open, then D chord And then people filled with rage ^DWe all need a little tenderness A G D string 5th fret, 4th fret, 2nd fret, open, then A How can love survive in such a graceless age? ^AThe trust and self-^A7assurance that ^Aleads to happiness There the ^Gvery things we kill, I guess Our ^Apride and compe^A7tition Can not ^Afill these empty arms And the ^Gwork I put between us You know it ^Adoesn t keep me warm
