Heart Of The Matter

[Parte 1]

D
I got the call today
      A
And I didn't want to hear
      G
But I knew that it would come
D
An old true friend of ours
    A
Was talking on the phone
               G
She said you'd found someone

      A
And I thought of all the bad luck
        A7
And the struggles we went through
    G
How I lost me, and you lost you
A
What are all these voices
   A7
Outside love's open door
        G
Make us throw off our contentment
    A
And beg for something more

D               A                Bm
I'm learning to live without you now
      G
But I miss you sometimes
D                    Bm
The more I know, the less I understand
        G
All the things I thought I knew
    A
I'm learning again

D
I've been trying to get down
A
To the heart of the matter
       Bm
But my will gets weak
G
And my thoughts seem to scatter
                 D
But I think it's about
             Bm
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
G                A
Even if, Even if you don't love me anymore
          D
Ah these times are so uncertain

            A
There's a yearning undefined
 G
People filled with rage
         D
We all need a little tenderness
A
How can love survive
    G
In such a graceless age
        A
Oh the trust and self-assurance
      A7
That lead to happiness
        G
They're the very things we kill I guess
     A
Oh pride and competition
       A7
Cannot fill these empty arms
        G
And the work I put between us
            A
You know it doesn't keep me warm

[Refrão]

D               A/E              Bm/F#
I'm learning to live without you now
       G
But I miss you baby
D                    Bm
The more I know, the less I understand
        G
All the things I thought I figured out
          A
I have to learn again

D
I've been trying to get down
A
To the heart of the matter
   Bm
But everything changes
      G
And my friends seem to scatter
                   D
But I think it's about
            A
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
G                A
Even if, Even if you don't love me anymore

[Ponte]

          C
There are people in your life
G/B
Who've come and gone
     Am
They let you down
              G
You know they hurt your pride
C
You better put it all behind you babe
     G/B
'Cuz life goes on
         A
You keep carrying that anger
    A7
It'll eat you up inside baby

To the heart of the matter
       Bm
But my will gets weak

And my thoughts seem to scatter

But I think it's about
            A

D
I've been trying to get down
         A
To the heart of the matter
             Bm
Because the flesh will get weak
   G
And the ashes will scatter
                   D
But I think it's about
            A
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
G                A
Even if, Even if you don't love me
