Introdução: D D9 D D4 

D                                A 
I got the call today and I didn't want to hear 
       G 
But I knew that it would come 
 D                                  A 
An old true friend of ours was talking on the phone 
                G 
She said you’d found someone 

       A                                  A7  
And I thought of all the bad luck and the struggles we went through 
    G 
How I lost me, and you lost you 
A                                   A7 
What are all these voices outside love's open door? 
        G                              A 
Make us throw off our contentment and beg for something more 


 D                 Em7                              D             G 
I'm learning to live without you now, but I miss you sometimes 
 D                          Bm 
The more I know, the less I understand 
          G                                      A 
All the things I thought I knew I'm  learning again 
D                                                     Em7 
I've been trying to get down to the heart of the matter 
         D/F#                                          G 
But my    will gets weak and my thoughts seem to scatter 
                      D                                   Bm 
But I think it's about forgiveness, forgiveness 
G                           A                                       D 
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
 

              D                    		                            A  
Ah these times are so uncertain, there's a yearning undefined 
G 
People filled with rage 
D                                                     A                                        G  
We all need a little tenderness How can love survive in such a graceless age? 
           A                  A7                   A 
Oh the trust and self-assurance that leads to happiness 
                  G 
They're the very things we kill, I guess 
   


   A                       A7              A   
Oh pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms 
             G                                                A 
And the work I put between us you know it doesn't keep me warm 

D                        Em7                  D/F#               G 
I'm learning to live without you now, but I miss you baby 
D                              Bm  
The more I know, the less I understand 
           G                                                      A 
All the things I thought I figured out I have to learn again 
D                                                Em7 
I've been trying to get down to the heart of the matter 
D/F#                                  G 
But everything changes and my friends seem to scatter 
                            D                             Bm 
But I think it's about forgiveness, forgiveness 
G                     A	                                         D  D  D D9 D 
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

But my will gets weak and my thoughts seem to scatter

                   D/F#                           G 
Because the flesh will get weak and the ashes will scatter
