CG
I understand there's no future for us here
F
Guess, I fooled myself into thinkin' there was
FG
Now you've made it clear
CG
It will never be right, guess we knew it all along
AmC
Now we've got to say goodbye
F
And I've got to be strong
[Bridge]
Em
So tell me one more time, how it's better for the both of us
F
Tell me one more time, how we'll hurt each other if we stay
EmAm
Tell me one more time, my darlin' there's just one more thing
G
Before you walk away
[Chorus]
FGAmC
Explain it to my heart, it's better that we're over now
FGAmC
Tell me one more time, this is the way it's suppose to be
FGEmAm
Tell me that I'm better off without you, how it's better to forget about you
FFCFGFC
Darlin' I understand, now won't you please explain it to my heart?
[Verse 2]
CG
Now if I try, I can see the reasons why
F
Why we can't stay together
FG
And I might convince my mind
CG
But it's breakin' my heart to know I've got to let you go
AmC
To find that I must leave behind
F
The only love I've known
Em
Well, I can tell myself that I never really needed you
F
I can tell myself that it's better just to say goodbye
EmAm
I can tell myself a thousand lies but tell me now
G
Tell me how I do
[Chorus 2]
FGAmC
Explain it to my heart, it's better that we're over now
FGAmC
Tell me one more time, this is the way it's suppose to be
FGEmAm
Tell me that I'm better off without you, how it's better to forget about you
FFCFGFC
Darlin', I understand, now won't you please explain it to my heart?
(not sure about first two chords on next line)
CAmF
Say that I'll be better if we don't stay together
GGA
Say that I'll be better off free but don't say it to me
AEm
Explain it to my heart.
