A
I forgive you, I forgive me
Now when do I start to feel again?
I forgive you, I forgive me
Now when do I start to feel again?

            D          A
 Cause the lights are on
          D     A
 But I'm never home
               F#m         D            E
 But I'll be back with a brand new attitude
Cause I forgive you

Chorus:
A
I forgive you
                          E
We were just a couple of kids
Trying to figure out how to live
         F#m
Doing it our way
No shame, no blame
            D
Cause the damage is done
               E
And, and I forgive you
A
I forgive you
                          E
We were busy living the dream
                                          F#m
Never noticed the glass ceiling falling on us
No shame, no blame
           D
Cause the damage is done
    E
And, and I forgive you

I forgive you, I forgive me
Now when do I start to feel again?
If I hate you, what does that do?
So I breathe in and I count to ten
'Cause the lights are on
And I'm coming home
Yes, I am back with a new heart in my hand
'Cause I forgive you

Chorus

D
I forgive you
                       F#m
For every time that I cried
Over some stupid thing you did to hurt me
          D                C#
That's alright, yeah I forgive you

Chorus:
I forgive you
We were just a couple of kids
Tryna figure out how to live, doing it our way
No shame, no blame
'Cause the damage is done
And, and I forgive you
I forgive you
We were just a couple of kids
Tryna figure out how to live, doing it our way
No shame, no blame
'Cause the damage is done
And, and I forgive you
I forgive you
We were busy living the dream
Never noticed the glass ceilings falling in on us
No shame, no blame
'Cause the damage is done
And, and I forgive you
