A5               E5               G5                C5 
It's been a long time since I've heard those words spoken 
           A5   E5               G5        
I've had a long time to learn goodbye 
           A5   E5             G5                 C5 
It takes a long time to heal a heart that's been broken 
F5                G5              A5     D5   A5   D5 
Forgiveness is a word I want to live by 
A5           E5     G5             C5 
How can this be you want to surrender 
A5     E5              G5    
I'll admit I want the same 
          A5             E5 
And we'll leave the past behind 
        G5              C5 
Let old flames turn to cinder 
F5                G5              A5 
Forgiveness is a word I want to live by 
F5              G5                C5 
Lovin' you is a word to make it right 
G5                 C5         D5 
Holdin' on taking one more chance 
B5                  E5 
We can only fall so far 
D5                       G5   C5        D5 
Before we find that perfect circumstance 
C5                      G5      D5      A5 
To remind us of who we are tonight 
 
SOLO 
 

   A5              E5 
So tonight say the word 
    G5             C5 
And I'll have an answer 
A5            E5              G5 
Tonight we'll start all over again 
A5               E5 
You won't be the heartbreaker 
     G5              C5 
And I won't be the dancer 
F5               G5               A5 
Forgiveness is a word I want to live by 
F5                 G5               A5 
Lovin' you is the word to make it right 
F5                G5              A5 
Forgiveness is a word I want to live by 
F5                 G5               A5 
Lovin' you is the word to make it right
