Sweet Forgiveness

	  		
(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." 



             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."
