C
Forgiving you was easy but forgetting 
                          F
Seems to take the longest time
       G7
I just keep thinking 
                                 C
And your memory is forever on my mind
You know I'll always love you 
                                          F
And I can't forget the days when you were mine
   G7
Forgiving you is easy 
                                         C
But forgetting seems to take the longest time
The bitter fruit of anger growing 
                              F
Growing from the seeds of jealousy
        G7
Oh what a heartache but I forgive 
                       C
The things you said to me
Cause I believe forgiving 
                                        F
Is the only way that I'll find peace of mind
    G7
And forgiving you is easy 
                                         C
But forgetting seems to take the longest time
The years have passed so quickly as once again 
                          F
Fate steals a young man's dreams
       G7
Of all the golden years 
                                 C
And growing old together you and me
You asked me to forgive you 
                                   F
You said there was another on your mind
   G7
Forgiving you is easy 
                                         C
But forgetting seems to take the longest time
   G7
Forgiving you is easy 
                                         C
But forgetting seems to take the longest time
