 From: Tim Lawler 
 Subject: Don Henly's Heart of the Matter
 I noticed that you have a great deal of Eagles but not this one which is
 paramount.  It is a Henley song that definitely falls under country
 style and grace.  I thought you'd enjoy.
 Thanks Tim Lawler
 
 {title:Heart of the Matter}
 {st:Don Henley}
 {c:Intro}
 [D]      [D]      [D]      [Dsus2]      [D]      [Dsus4]
 [D]I got the call today and I [A]didn't want to hear
 But I [G]knew that it would come
 [D]An old true friend of ours was [A]talking on the phone
 She said you'd [G]found someone
 And I [A]thought of all the bad luck and the [A7]struggles we went
 through
 How [G]I lost me, and you lost you
 [A]What are all these voices out[A7]side love's open door
 Make us [G]throw off our contentment and [A]beg for something more
 
 {c:Chorus}
 [D]I'm learning to [A]live without you [Bm]now, but I [G]miss you
 sometimes
 [D]The more I know, the [Bm]less I understand
 All the [G]things I thought I knew I'm [A]learning again
 [D]I've been trying to get down [D/E]to the heart of the matter
 But my [D/F#]will gets weak [G]and my thoughts seem to scatter
 But I think it's [D]about forgiveness, [Bm]forgiveness
 [G]Even if, even if [A]you don't love me anymore
 
 Ah these [D]times are so uncertain, there's a [A]yearning undefined
 [G]People filled with rage
 [D]We all need a little tenderness
 [A]How can love survive in [G]such a graceless age?
 Oh the [A]trust and self-[A7]assurance that [A]lead to happiness
 They're the [G]very things we kill, I guess
 Oh [A]pride and competi[A7]tion cannot [A]fill these empty arms
 And the [G]work I put between us you know it [A]doesn't keep me warm
 
 {c:Chorus}
 [D]I'm learning to [D/E]live without you [D/F#]now, but I [G]miss you
 baby
 [D]The more I know, the [Bm]less I understand
 All the [G]things I thought I figured out I [A]have to learn again
 [D]I've been trying to get down [D/E]to the heart of the matter
 [D/F#]But everything changes and [G]my friends seem to scatter
 But I think it's [D]about forgiveness, [Bm]forgiveness
 [G]Even if, even if [A]you don't love me anymore
 
 {c:Bridge}
 There are [C]people in your life [G/B]who've come and gone
 They [Am]let you down, you know they [G]hurt your pride
 [C]You better put it all behind you babe cuz [G/B]life goes on
 You keep [A]carrying that anger, it'll eat you up inside baby
 
 {c:Chorus}
 [D]I've been trying to get down [D/E]to the heart of the matter
 [D/F#]But my will gets weak and my [G]thoughts seem to scatter
 But I think it's [D]about forgiveness, [Bm]forgiveness
 [G]Even if, even if [A]you don't love me
 
 [D]I've been trying to get down [D/E]to the heart of the matter
 Because the [D/F#]flesh will get weak and [G]the ashes will scatter
 But I think it's [D]about forgiveness, [Bm]forgiveness
 [G]Even if, even if [A]you don't love me
