It's been a long time since I've heard those words spoken
Am Em G
I've had a long time to learn goodbye
Am Em G C
It takes a long time to heal a heart that's been broken
F G Am D Am D
Forgiveness is a word I want to live by
Am Em G C
How can this be you want to surrender
Am Em G
I'll admit I want the same
Am Em
And we'll leave the past behind
G C
Let old flames turn to cinder
F G Am
Forgiveness is a word I want to live by
F G C
Lovin' you is a word to make it right
G C D
Holdin' on taking one more chance
B7 Em
We can only fall so far
D G C D
Before we find that perfect circumstance
C G D A
To remind us of who we are tonight

SOLO

Am Em
So tonight say the word
G C
And I'll have an answer
Am Em G
Tonight we'll start all over again
Am Em
You won't be the heartbreaker
G C
And I won't be the dancer
F G Am
Forgiveness is a word I want to live by
F G Am
Lovin' you is the word to make it right
F G Am
Forgiveness is a word I want to live by
F G Am
Lovin' you is the word to make it right
