Verse Em B C G In my silence I would love to forget Em B C G But restitution hasn't come quite yet D And with one accord I keep moving forth Em C5 I stretch my heart to heal some more Chorus G Em C5 It used to be all I wanted to learn G **** Was wisdom trust and truth G Em C5 But now all I really want to learn G Is forgiveness for you then guitar 2( or organ) comes in again with almost the same thing as riff 1 riff 2 ( pitiful attempt at repeat sign ) play what's in 1st box once, repeat it and then play the second box

*(Not sure about octave before repeat)* Verse Em B C G As my seasons change I've now grown to know Em B C G When one's heart creates, one's soul doesn't owe D So I wash away stains of yesterday Em C5 Then tempt my heart with love's display (Play Chorus again)
Guitar interlude (couldn't quite call this a solo!) 
It sounds approximately right to me			 

								(again, there's that  
								famous repeat sign)
