(Intro)

G   C   G   D



(Verse 1)

           G                         D        
  Sweet forgiveness, that's what you give to me.

           G              G7
  When you hold me close,
 
                           C       Cm
  And you say: "That's all over."

               G             D     Em
  You don't go looking back,
  
      D              C        Em7        Am7      G
  You don't hold the cards to the stack.

             D7
  'Cause you mean what you say.




(Verse 2)

           G             D 
  Sweet forgiveness, you help me see.

          G            G7
  I'm not near as bad,

                   C           Cm
  As I sometimes appear to be.

           G         D       Em
  When you hold me   close,

          D              C       Em7   Am7      
  And you say: "That's all over,

       D7      G           D    C    G        G7
  "And I still love you."




(Chorus)

             C
  There's no way that I could make up,

            G             G7
  For those angry words I said.

  C                    Em
  Sometimes it gets to hurting,

          Am              D7
  And the pain goes to my head.




(Verse 4) 

           G              D
  Sweet forgiveness, dear God above.

        G             G7 
  I say    we all deserve,

             C                 Cm
  A taste of that kind of love.

                 G      D        Em
  Someone who'll   hold onto our hand,

      D           C      Em7    Am7
  And whisper: "I under--stand,

      D7      G            D   C   G
  And I still love you."

            G             G7
  For those angry words I said.

  C                    Em
  Sometimes it gets to hurting,

          Am              D7
  And the pain goes to my head.

                  C             Cm
  A taste of this kind of love.

  And I still love you."
