Already Forgiven

C G Am F

            F       C
They say in time it fades
             G        Am
Forget where you have been
            F    C             G         Am
Why can't I look away from the face I've seen
            F     C             G      Am
I saw it on those days we spent in the park
        F       C               G    Am
Saw you chasing dreams down the boulevard

      F          G  Dm      F  C  G
And I saw you're already forgiven
   Dm       F       C
It takes so long to say it
G  Dm    F  C    G
Already forgiven
    Dm       F       C    F Am
How long I'd let you stay

        F         C
I can't escape my name
            G    Am
Now I won't even try
        F      C                 G      Am
When my body's tired of drinking bitter wine
         F      C            G         Am
When the cup it breaks in my hand each time
         F      C            G         Am
When the cup it breaks in my hand each time

        F         G  Dm      F  C  G
Telling me you're already forgiven
     Dm      F        C
Will take me years to say it
G  Dm    F  C    G
Already forgiven
    Dm      F       C
How could I let you stay?

          Dm       C               G        Am
I want to leave my mind and let my old ways fall
          F      C               G        C
They took shapes I could not have foreseen
          Dm          C
And in my hands this time
             G      Am
I don't know what I hold
      F           C       G    Am
But I know you're already forgiven
F  C    G    C   G  Am
Already forgiven

       F      C         G        Am
I took up the pieces of what you made
         F       C                G      Am
Tried to build a fire where there was no flame
       F        C           G        Am
What I tried to fight in my heart in vain
       F        C           G        Am
What I tried to fight in my heart in vain

         F        G   Dm   F   C   G
Telling me you're already forgiven
   Dm      F         C     G
It took me years to say it
G    Dm   F  C   G
Already forgiven
Dm          F      C
How could I let it stay?
G    Dm  F   C   G
Already forgiven
   Dm       F        C
It takes me years to say it
G   Dm   F   C   G
Already forgiven
    Dm      F      C
Why can't I let it fade?
