Verse One
Am C   D9          Am7       G        D9
All alone staring on watching her life go by
        Am         C           D9               Am7       G         D9
When her days are grey and her nights are black , Different shades of mundane 
      Am              C           D9               Am7     G       D9
And the one eyed furry toy that lies upon the bed Has often heard her cry 
               Am           C             D9              Am7    G D9
And heard her whisper out a name long forgiven but not forgotten 

Chorus
           Am  C        D9            Am7   G        D9
You're forgiven not forgotten, You're forgiven not forgotten
           Am  C        D9                 Am7    G       D9
You're forgiven not forgotten, You're not forgotten 

Verse Two
Am        C    D9           Am7         G    D9
Bleeding heart torn apart , And left on an icey grave 
    Am              C         D9           Am7         G         D9
In a room where they once lay face to face, Nothing could get in the way 
          Am           C         D9                       Am7    G       D9
But no the memories of a man are haunting her days, And the craving never fades 
            Am           C           D9              Am7 G D9
She's still dreaming of a man long forgiven but not forgotten 
The lick at the end of the verse is played like this:
E---------------------------------
B---------------------------------
G--7>9>7-5-7-5---5----------------
D--7>9>7-------7----7-5-----------
A------------------------7--------
E---------------------------8--5--
Chorus
         Am  C        D9              Am7   G        D9
You're forgiven not forgotten, You're forgiven not forgotten
          Am  C        D9                Am7    G       D9
You're forgiven not forgotten, You're not forgotten 

Verse Three
Am    C D9            Am7        G        D9
Still alone. Staring on wishing her life goodbye 
           Am               C             D9
As she goes searching for the man long forgiven 
           Am7  G D9
But not forgotten 
 
The build-up towards the end of the verse is just a steadily-increasing-in-volume

 series of notes played on the fifth fret of the top E and B strings, finishing

 with a quick slide up to and back from the 10th fret.

Chorus
           Am  C        D9            Am7   G        D9
You're forgiven not forgotten, You're forgiven not forgotten
          Am  C        D9                Am7    G       D9
You're forgiven not forgotten, You're not forgotten
