(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.
                 G      D        Em
  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."

(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 5) 
           G                 D
  Sweet forgiveness, oh dear God, dear God above.
             G                   G7 
  Oh, I know    we all, we all deserve,
                  C             Cm
  A taste of this kind of love.
           G            D     Em      D

  And I still love you."
