  			Am               Em               G                C 
It's been a long time since I've heard those words spoken 
           Am   Em               G        
I've had a long time to learn goodbye 
           Am   Em             G                 C 
It takes a long time to heal a heart that's been broken 
F                G              Am     D   Am   D 
Forgiveness is a word I want to live by 
Am           Em     G             C 
How can this be you want to surrender 
Am     Em              G    
I'll admit I want the same 
          Am             Em 
And we'll leave the past behind 
        G              C 
Let old flames turn to cinder 
F                G              Am 
Forgiveness is a word I want to live by 
F              G                C 
Lovin' you is a word to make it right 
G                 C         D 
Holdin' on taking one more chance 
B7                  Em 
We can only fall so far 
D                       G   C        D 
Before we find that perfect circumstance 
C                      G      D      A 
To remind us of who we are tonight 
 
SOLO 
 
   Am              Em 
So tonight say the word 
    G             C 
And I'll have an answer 
Am            Em              G 
Tonight we'll start all over again 
Am               Em 
You won't be the heartbreaker 
     G              C 
And I won't be the dancer 
F               G               Am 
Forgiveness is a word I want to live by 
F                 G               Am 
Lovin' you is the word to make it right 
F                G              Am 
Forgiveness is a word I want to live by 
F                 G               Am 
Lovin' you is the word to make it right
