Intro:

G|----------|
D|----------|  X2
A|-33-5-5-0-|
E|----------|

Verse:

You are waiting on a beach,

For a healing word to come,

Maybe an apology in a bottle,

Maybe a flare that says, "I'm sorry."

And the hurting leaves you numb...

G|----------|
D|----------|  x5
A|-33-5-5-0-|
E|----------|

Chorus:

Will you forgive? Will you forget?

Will you live what you know?

He left his rights, will you leave yours?

You won't understand it, let it go.

G|----------|
D|----------|  x4
A|-5-5--00--|
E|----------|

Verse:

You are waiting on a beach,

This is where the east meets west,

And as another sun sets on your anger,

The darkness laughs as the wound destroys,

And it turns your prayers to noise...

G|----------|
D|----------|  x5
A|-33-5-5-0-|
E|----------|

Chorus:

Will you forgive? Will you forget?

Will you live what you know?

He left his rights, will you leave yours?

You won't understand it, let it go.

You won't understand it, let it go.

G|----------|
D|----------|  x5
A|-5-5--00--|
E|----------|

Verse:

This bitterness you hide,

G|----------|
D|----------|
A|-9-7-7-00-|
E|----------|

It seeps into your soul,

G|-----------------|
D|-----------------|
A|-9-7-7-00-607080-|
E|-----------------|

And it steals your joy,

G|----------|
D|----------|
A|-9-7-7-00-|
E|----------|

Till it's all you know, let it go...

G|----------|
D|----------|
A|-9-7-7-55-| (hold 5th fret till the
E|----------|  of the "let it go's")

Chorus:

Will you forgive? Will you forget?

Will you live what you know?

He left his rights, will you leave yours?

You won't understand it, let it go.

Will you forgive? Will you forget?

Will you live what you know?

Beneath the cross, you hear his words,

"Father, forgive them," and you know,

You can't understand it, let it go...

G|----------|
D|----------|  x9
A|-5-5--00--|
E|----------|

Ending:

Just let it go

Just let it go

Just let it go

Just let it go

E|----------|  of the "let it go")

End the song with hitting "A" sting

open.

Notes:

This is pretty much the song. There

may be some mistakes in this. This is

my first time tabbing out a song, and

I think I did pretty well.

Rock on fellow headbangers!
