AI got the call today that I Edidn’t wanna hear

But I Dknew that it would come

AOld true friend of ours was Etalking on the phone

She said you Dfound someone

And I Ethought of all the bad luck

And the struggles we went through

And how DI lost me and you lost you

EWhat are these voices outside love’s open door

Make us Dthrow off our contentment

And Ebeg for something more?

ABut I’m learning to Bm7live without you A/C#now

But I Dmiss you sometimes

And the A/Emore I know, the F#mless I understand

All the Dthings I thought I knew I’m Esus4learning agaEin

All these Atimes are so uncertain

There’s a Eyearning undefined

And Dpeople filled with rage

We all Aneed a little tenderness

EHow can love survive in Dsuch a graceless age?

Ah the Etrust and self-assurance that lead to happiness

They’re the Dvery things we Dkill, I guess

Our Epride and competition

Can not fill these empty arms

And the Dwork I put between us

You know it Esus4doesn’t keep me Ewarm

AI’m learning to Bm7live without you A/C#now

But I Dmiss you baby

And the A/Emore I know, the F#mless I understand

All the Dthings I thought I’d figured out

I Esus4have to learn Eagain

A

There are Gpeople in your life, D/F#who’ve come and gone

They Emlet you down, you know they D/F#hurt your pride

GYou better put it all behind you baby, ‘cause D/F#life goes on

You keep Ecarrying that anger, it will eat you up inside, baby
