Intro
F# F#sus2 F# F#sus2 A7sus4 x4
[Verse 1]
F# C#
I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear
B
But I knew that it would come
F# C#
An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
B
She said you found someone
C#
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And the struggles we went through
B
How I lost me and you lost you
C#
What are these voices outside love's open door
B
Make us throw off our contentment
C#sus4 C#
And beg for something more?
[Chorus 1]
F# G#m7 F#/A#
I've been learning to live without you now
B
But I miss you sometimes
F# D#m
The more I know, the less I understand
B C#sus4 C#
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again
F# G#m7
I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
F#/A#
But my will gets weak
B
And my thoughts seem to scatter
F#
But I think it's a - bout forgiveness
D#m
Forgiveness
B C# F# F#sus2 F# F#sus2 A7sus4 (x2)
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
[Verse 2]
F#
These times are so uncertain
C#
There's a yearning undefined
B
And people filled with rage
F#
We all need a little tenderness
C# B
How can love survive in such a graceless age
C#
And the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
B
They're the very things we kill, I guess
C#
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
B
And the work I put between us
C#sus4 C#
You know it doesn't keep me warm
[Chorus 2]
F# G#m7 F#/A#
I'm learning to live without you now
B
But I miss you, baby
F# D#m
The more I know, the less I understand
B C#sus4 C#
All the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again
F# G#m7
I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
F#/A#
But everything changes
B
And my friends seem to scatter
F#
But I think it's a - bout forgiveness
D#m
Forgiveness
B C# F# B F#
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
[Bridge]
E B/D#
There are people in your life who've come and gone
C#m B/D#
They let you down, you know they hurt your pride
E B/D#
You better put it all behind you, baby; ‘cause life goes on
C#sus4 C#
You keep carryin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside, baby
[Chorus 3]
F# G#m7
I’ve been tryin’ to get down, to the heart of the matter
F#/A#
But my will gets weak
B
And my thoughts seem to scatter
F#
But I think it's a - bout forgiveness
D#m
Forgiveness
B C#
Even if, even if you don't love me
[Final Chorus]
F# G#m7
I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
F#/A#
Because the flesh will get weak
B
And the ashes will scatter
F#
So, I'm thinkin' a - bout forgiveness
D#m
Forgiveness
B C#
Even if, even if you don't love me
F# G#m7 F#/A#
(Forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness,
B F# D#m
forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness)
B C#
Even if you don't love me anymore

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