(Intro)
G C G D
(Verse 1)
G D
Sweet forgiveness, that's what you give to me.
G G7
When you hold me close,
C Cm
And you say: "That's all over."
G D Em
You don't go looking back,
D C Em7 Am7 G
You don't hold the cards to the stack.
D7
'Cause you mean what you say.
(Verse 2)
G D
Sweet forgiveness, you help me see.
G G7
I'm not near as bad,
C Cm
As I sometimes appear to be.
G D Em
When you hold me close,
D C Em7 Am7
And you say: "That's all over,
D7 G D C G G7
"And I still love you."
(Chorus)
C
There's no way that I could make up,
G G7
For those angry words I said.
C Em
Sometimes it gets to hurting,
Am D7
And the pain goes to my head.
(Verse 4)
G D
Sweet forgiveness, dear God above.
G G7
I say we all deserve,
C Cm
A taste of that kind of love.

Someone who'll hold onto our hand,
D C Em7 Am7
And whisper: "I under--stand,
D7 G D C G
And I still love you."
