Chords for Madeline Merlo performs a 'Heart Of The Matter' cover LIVE with SiriusXM Country

_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [C#]
I got the call [G#] today I didn't want to hear but I [F#] knew that it would come
_ [D#] _ _ [C#]
An old true friend of ours [G#] was talking on the phone
She [F#] said she found someone
_ _ _ Well I [G#] thought of all the bad lucks
All the struggles we've been through
How I lost me and you lost you
[G#] But all these voices outside love's open door
[F#] Make a store for contentment [G#] and beg for something more
[C#] _ I've been learning [A#] to live [F#] without you [C#] now
But I miss you sometimes
The [D#] more I know, [A#m] the less I understand
[F#] All the things I thought I knew, [G#] I'm learning them again
[C#] Been trying to get [D#m] down to the heart of the matter
[C#] But my will gets weak
_ [F#] And my thoughts seem to scatter but [C#] I think it's about Forgiveness, [A#m] _ _ forgiveness
[F#] Even if, even if [D#] you [G#] don't love me [C#] anymore _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ These [C#] times are so uncertain
[G#] There's yearning undefined
[F#] And people filled with rage
[C#] _ [D#] _ We all need a little [G#] tenderness
How can love survive [F#] in such a graceless age?
_ _ [G#] All the trust and self-assurance
That leads to happiness
Are [F#] the very [C#] things we kill, [F#] I [G#] guess
Pride and competition will not fill these empty [F#] arms
And the war they put between [G#] us, it doesn't keep us warm
[C#] _ I've been learning to live [F#] without you now
_ But I miss you baby
The more I know, [A#m] the less I [D#m]
understand
All the things I thought I figured [G#] out, I have to learn again
[C#] Been trying to get [A#m] down to the heart of the matter
[C#] But my will gets weak
[F#] And my heart is so shattered [C#] but I think it's about
Forgiveness, [A#m] _ _ forgiveness
[F#] Even if, even [G#] if you don't love me [C#] anymore _ _ _ _ _
[B] Oh, there are people in your life
[F#] Who come and go
[G#m] They let you down
[F#] You know they hurt your pride
[B] You gotta put it behind [F#] you
Cause life goes on
[D#] You keep carrying that [G#] anger
It'll eat you up [C#] inside
_ _ _ [D#m] _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ [F#] And my heart is so shattered [C#] but I know it's about
Forgiveness, [A#m] _ _ forgiveness
[F#] Even if, even [D#] if you [G#] don't love [C#] me
Been trying to get [A#m] down to the heart of the matter
[C#] But that flesh gets weak
[F#] And the ashes are scattered [C#] but I know it's about [A#m] Forgiveness, _ forgiveness
_ _ _ _ [G#] Even if you don't love [C#] me anymore
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
