I'LL FORGIVE BUT I'LL NEVER FORGET

5   5   5   -5  3   -4    -4   4
He had the time he could give you
 4    5    5     5   -5  5   6    6
When your lips could nev-er find mine
 4  -6   7   7   7    4   6  6    6   5 4
And our lit-tle home was pay-in' the price
3   3    3   5  -4   4
Of love left on the vine

 7  7 -8  7   7   -6    6
For-give-ness is some-thing
-6  7   7   -6 6  -5   6
I guess it comes with time
 6 -6  7  7   7       5     6    6   6 5 4
But e-ven at best, there's one thing I know
 3    3   3    3   3    3  -3 -4   4
I'll for-give but I'll nev-er for-get

5   5     5    5  -5  3   -4 -4  4
I guess, when it's o-ver it's o-ver
 4   5    5   5  -5  5   6   6
And your time is no long-er mine
 5 -6  7  7    7   4    6    6   6  5 4
But I nev-er meant to cause all the pain
3  3   3   3    5   -4   4
I want-ed your love for mine

 7   7  7 -8  7   7   -6    6
And for-give-ness is some-thing
-6  7   7   -6 6  -5   6
I guess it comes with time
 6 -6  7  7   7       3     6    6   6  5 4
But e-ven at best, there's one thing I know
 3    3   3    3    3   3  -3 -4   4
I'll for-give but I'll nev-er for-get
