The Heart of the Matter piano leadsheet with chords

I got the call today;

I didn't want to hear but I knew that it would come.

An old, true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone,

she said you found someone.

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

and how I lost me and you lost you.

What are these voices outside love's open door,

make us throw off our contentment and beg for something more?

I'm learning to live without you now,

but I miss you sometimes.

The more I know,

the less I understand;

all the things I thought I knew,

I'm learning again.

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

and my thoughts seem to scatter But I think it's about forgiveness,

forgiveness, even if, even if you don't love me anymore.

Ah, these I got the call today;

I didn't want to hear but I knew that it would come.

An old, true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone,

she said you found someone.

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

and how I lost me and you lost you.

What are these voices outside love's open door,

make us throw off our contentment and beg for something more?

I'm learning to live without you now,

but I miss you sometimes.

The more I know,

the less I understand;

all the things I thought I knew,

I'm learning again.

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

and my thoughts seem to scatter But I think it's about forgiveness,

forgiveness, even if, even if you don't love me anymore.

Ah, these you don't love me anymore.

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

they let you down, you know they've hurt your pride.

You better put it all behind you;

'cause life goes on.

You keep carryin' that anger;

it'll eat you up inside,

baby. you don't love me.

I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter because the flesh will get weak and the ashes will scatter.

So, I'm thinkin' about forgiveness,

forgiveness, even if, even if you don't love me.

I've been tryin' Forgiveness, to the heart of forgiveness,

because the flesh will giveness,

and the ashes forgiveness, So, I'm thinkin' about forgiveness,

forgiveness, even if, even if you don't love me.
