 Verse: 
C                           G 
 I got a call today that I didn't wanna hear 
         F 
 But I knew that it would come 
C                                G 
 An old true friend of ours was talking on the phone 
       F 
 She said you found someone 


 Pre-Chorus 
          G 
 And I thought of all the bad luck and struggles we went through 
     F 
 How I lost me and you lost you 
G 
 What are all these voices outside love's opened door 
            F                             G 
 Because through off our contentment and beg for something more 


 Chorus: 
C                Dm                C 
 I'm learning to live without you now 
        F 
 But I miss you sometimes 
C                      Am 
 The more I know, the less I understand  
           F 
 All the things I thought I knew 
      G 
 I'm learning again 
C 
 I've been trying to get down  
Dm 
 To the heart of the matter  
         C            F 
 But my will gets weak and my thoughts seem to scatter 
                    C              Am 
 But I think it's about forgiveness, forgiveness 
 F                 G                    C  C  Csus2  C  Csus2  Csus4 
 Even if, even if you don't love me anymore 


 C  C  Csus2  C  Csus2  Csus4 


 Verse: 
            C 
 All these times are so uncertain 
              G 
 Though the yearning undefined 
  F 
 People filled with rage 
          C 
 We all need a little tenderness  
  G                               F 
 How can love survive in such a graceless age 


 Pre-Chorus 
       G 
 The trust in self-assurance that lead to happiness  
            F 
 There the very things we kill I guess 
   G 
 Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms  
          F                                   G 
 And the work I put between us, you know it doesn't keep me warm 


 Chorus: 
C                Dm                C 
 I'm learning to live without you now 
        F 
 But I miss you baby 
C                      Am 
 The more I know, the less I understand  
           F 
 All the things I thought I figured out 
    G 
 I have to learn again 
C 
 I've been trying to get down  
Dm 
 To the heart of the matter  
     C                           F 
 But everything changes and my friends seem to scatter 
                    C              Am 
 And I think it's about forgiveness, forgiveness 
 F                 G                    C  
 Even if, even if you don't love me anymore 


 Bridge: 
            Bb                     F 
 There are people in your life who've come and go 
      Am                     F 
 They let you down and they hurt your pride 
Bb                                    F 
 Better put it all behind you 'cause life goes on 
       G 
 Keep carrying that anger, it will eat you up inside 


Chorus: 
C                Dm                C 
 I'm learning to live without you now 
        F 
 But I miss you sometimes 
C                      Am 
 The more I know, the less I understand  
 F                 G                    C  
 Even if, even if you don't love me anymore 


 End on C
