The Heart of the Matter

I got the call today;

I (A)didn't want to hear but I (G)knew that it would come.

(D)An old, true friend of ours was (A)talkin' on the phone,

she said you (G)found someone.

And I (Asus)thought of all the bad luck and the struggles we went through,

and how (G)I lost me and you lost you.

(Asus)What are these voices outside love's open door,

make us (G)throw off our contentment and (Asus)beg for something (A)more?

(D)I'm learning to live without you now,

but I (G)miss you sometimes.

(D)The more I know,

the (Bm7)less I understand;

all the (G)things I thought I knew,

I'm (Asus)learning (A)again.

(D)I've been tryin' to get down (Em7)to the heart of the matter but my (D)will gets weak

(G)and my thoughts seem to scatter But I think it's (D)about forgiveness,

(Bm7)forgiveness, (G)even if, even if (Asus)you don't love (A)me anymore.

(A7sus)Ah, these (D)I got the call today;

(A7sus)Ah, these (Asus)you don't love (A)me (D)anymore.

There are (C)people in your life who've come and gone,

they (Am7)let you down, you know they've (G)hurt your pride.

(C)You better put it all behind you;

(G)'cause life goes on.

You keep (Asus)carryin' that anger;
