Capo 5th Fret
[Intro]
Am D Am D
[Verse]
Am
It's the hardest thing to give away
Am
And the last thing on your mind today
D
It always goes to those that don't deserve
Am
It's the opposite of how you feel
Am
When the pain they caused is just too real
D
It takes everything you have just to say the word
Am D
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Am
It flies in the face of all your pride
Am
It moves away the mad inside
D
It's always anger's own worst enemy
Am
Even when the jury and the judge
Am
Say you gotta right to hold a grudge
D
It's the whisper in your ear saying 'Set It Free'
[Chorus]
Am D
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Em G
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
A
Show me how to love the unlovable
D
Show me how to reach the unreachable
Em D
Help me now to do the impossible
Am D
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Em D
Help me now to do the impossible
Am
Forgiveness
[Verse]
Am
It'll clear the bitterness away
Am
It can even set a prisoner free
D
There is no end to what it's power can do
A
So, let it go and be amazed
Am
By what you see through eyes of grace
Em D
The prisoner that it really frees is you
[Chorus]
Am D
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Em G
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
A
Show me how to love the unlovable
D
Show me how to reach the unreachable
Em D
Help me now to do the impossible
Am
Forgiveness
[Bridge]
Am
I want to finally set it free
D
So show me how to see what Your mercy sees
Em G
Help me now to give what You gave to me
[Outro]
Am D
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Am D
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Am (until end of song)
