(Verse 1)
GD
Sweet forgiveness, that's what you give to me.
GG7
When you hold me close,
CCm
And you say: "That's all over."

You don't go looking back,

You don't hold the cards to the stack.
D7
'Cause you mean what you say.

Sweet forgiveness, you help me see.
GG7
I'm not near as bad,
CCm
As I sometimes appear to be.
GDEm
When you hold me close,
DCEm7Am7
And you say: "That's all over,
D7GDCGG7
"And I still love you."

There's no way that I could make up,
GG7
For those angry words I said.

Someone who'll hold onto our hand,

And whisper: "I under--stand,
D7GDCG
And I still love you."
