An old, true friend of ours was (A)talk in’ on the phone, she said you (G)found some one.

And I (Asus)thought of all the bad luck and the strug gles we went through, and how (G)I lost me

and you lost you.

What are these voic es out side love’s o pen door, make us (G)throw off our con tent ment and (Asus)beg for some thing (A)more?

I’m learn ing to live with out you now,

but I (G)miss you some times.

The more I know,

the (Bm7)less I un der stand; all the (G)things I thought I knew, I’m (Asus)learn ing a (A)gain.

I’ve been try in’ to get down

to the heart of the mat ter but my (D)will gets weak

and my thoughts seem to scat ter But I think it’s a (D)bout for give ness,

for give ness, (G)e ven if, e ven if (Asus)you don’t love me an y more.
