Lyrics
I got the call to day; I (A)did n’t want to hear
but I (G)knew that it would come.
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.
