Intro
A# A#sus2 A# A#sus2 A7sus4 x4
[Verse 1]
A# F
I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear
D#
But I knew that it would come
A# F
An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
D#
She said you found someone
F
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And the struggles we went through
D#
How I lost me and you lost you
F
What are these voices outside love's open door
D#
Make us throw off our contentment
Fsus4 F
And beg for something more?
[Chorus 1]
A# Cm7 A#/D
I've been learning to live without you now
D#
But I miss you sometimes
A# Gm
The more I know, the less I understand
D# Fsus4 F
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again
A# Cm7
I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
A#/D
But my will gets weak
D#
And my thoughts seem to scatter
A#
But I think it's a - bout forgiveness
Gm
Forgiveness
D# F A# A#sus2 A# A#sus2 A7sus4 (x2)
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
[Verse 2]
A#
These times are so uncertain
F
There's a yearning undefined
D#
And people filled with rage
A#
We all need a little tenderness
F D#
How can love survive in such a graceless age
F
And the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
D#
They're the very things we kill, I guess
F
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
D#
And the work I put between us
Fsus4 F
You know it doesn't keep me warm
[Chorus 2]
A# Cm7 A#/D
I'm learning to live without you now
D#
But I miss you, baby
A# Gm
The more I know, the less I understand
D# Fsus4 F
All the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again
A# Cm7
I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
A#/D
But everything changes
D#
And my friends seem to scatter
A#
But I think it's a - bout forgiveness
Gm
Forgiveness
D# F A# D# A#
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
[Bridge]
G# D#/G
There are people in your life who've come and gone
Fm D#/G
They let you down, you know they hurt your pride
G# D#/G
You better put it all behind you, baby; ‘cause life goes on
Fsus4 F
You keep carryin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside, baby
[Chorus 3]
A# Cm7
I’ve been tryin’ to get down, to the heart of the matter
A#/D
But my will gets weak
D#
And my thoughts seem to scatter
A#
But I think it's a - bout forgiveness
Gm
Forgiveness
D# F
Even if, even if you don't love me
[Final Chorus]
A# Cm7
I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
A#/D
Because the flesh will get weak
D#
And the ashes will scatter
A#
So, I'm thinkin' a - bout forgiveness
Gm
Forgiveness
D# F
Even if, even if you don't love me
A# Cm7 A#/D
(Forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness,
D# A# Gm
forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness)
D# F
Even if you don't love me anymore

This is my interpretation of the song and is what I hear. Since
U-D# 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.
