Forgiven
Relient k
Five Score and Seven Years Ago


Intro - Piano

Verse 1:

Eb                                    F#
Oh yes, I know this tension that you speak of
Ab                      B             Eb
We're in the palm of a hand making a fist
Eb                              F#
It'd be best for one of us to speak up
Ab                   B                Eb
But we prefer to pretend it does not exist


Pre-Chorus:

C#                                      B
And you can't see past the blood on my hands
                                Bb
To see that you've been aptly damned
                  Eb/D
To fail and fail again


Chorus:

Eb                                  Ab
Cause we're all guilty of the same things
                Cm                                Bb
We think the thoughts whether or not we see them through
       Eb                      Ab
And I know that I have been forgiven
             Cm                     Bb
And I just hope you can forgive me too


Verse 2:

Eb
So don't you dare blame me for
Prying open the door
F#
That's unleashed the bitterness
That's here in the midst of this
Ab                     B             Eb
Sometimes we live for no one but ourselves
And what we've been striving for
Has turned into nothing more
F#
Than bodies limp on the floor
Victims of falling short
Ab                    B                Eb
We kiss goodbye the cheek of our true love


Pre-Chorus 2:
(strum on the off beat until D#)

C#                                       B
And you can't see past the blood on my hands
                                Bb
To see that you've been aptly damned
                  Eb/D
To fail and fail again


Chorus:

Eb                                  Ab
Cause we're all guilty of the same things
                Cm                                Bb
We think the thoughts whether or not we see them through
       Ab                      Ab
And I know that I have been forgiven
             Cm                    Bb
And I just hope you can forgive me too


Bridge - (same as verse) Eb F# Ab B Eb


Pre-Chorus:

C#                                      B
And you can't see past the blood on my hands
                                Bb
To see that you've been aptly damned
                  Eb/D
To fail and fail again


Chorus:

Eb                                  Ab
Cause we're all guilty of the same things
                Cm                                 Bb
We think the thoughts whether or not we see them through
       Eb                      Ab
And I know that I have been forgiven
             Cm                     Ab
And I just hope you can forgive me too


Outro - Eb F# Ab B Eb (same as verse)
