When I Forgive You

Intro
C Am F G

Intro
C           Am            F              G
My grandma grew up in the 30s, she's a catholic through and through.
C          Am              F             G
I would have understood if she had been abrasive or confused.
C                Am              F                G
She could have turned away and simply washed her hands of it.
C                Am              F                    G
Instead, she's bragging to her friends how great her grandson is.

C Am F G

Verse
C            Am                 F                G
It makes me wonder if it would all change if we just sat down to speak.
C            Am              F                G
I'm not fed up with you for fearing something that you've never seen.
C              Am              F           G
When people painted you a picture of who I am supposedly.
C             Am                  F            G              Am G
It's not surprising that you're trying not to get too close to me.

Chorus
C                     Am             F               G
All your violence, all your venom won't come close to getting rid of me.
C                       Am                         F
And at the pearly gates all those statements you made.
                   G
Will suddenly be things you didn't mean.
F        G                     C
I find it strange to hold such hatred
      Am
for a stranger.
F              G
You'll find it strange when I hold
 C                 Am
kindness to your anger.
 F         G            C     G
I find it strange this shape you mould
   Am
me into
  F          G                          C
You'll find it strange when I forgive you.

Verse
C                Am              F            G
My grandma grew up in a catholic school and never misses mass.
C                Am              F               G
I wouldn't blame her if at her age it was all too much to grasp.
C                Am              F         G        C
And she may not know all the proper terminology and words
        Am        F                 G             C
But at 83 her love for me is what made her wanna learn.
  C                 Am         F                  G
'Cause I'm not an act of revolution that you're watching on the news.
C                  Am       F
I bet you'd like me if we talked.
G                          C
I bet you wouldn't have a clue.
               Am               F                 G
And when the swords are to the side and when the army finally falls.
C               Am              F                 G         Am G
You see we're just two human beings not too different after all.

Chorus
C                     Am             F               G
All your violence, all your venom won't come close to getting rid of me.
C                       Am                         F
And at the pearly gates all those statements you made.
                        G
Will suddenly be things you didn't mean.
F           G                     C
I find it strange to hold such hatred
      Am
for a stranger.
F              G
You'll find it strange when I hold
 C                 Am
kindness to your anger.
 F         G           C         G
I find it strange this shape you mould
   Am
me into
  F          G                          C
You'll find it strange when I forgive you.
