Am               Em               G                C
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
