I understand there's no future for us here

Guess, I fooled myself into thinkin' there was

Now you've made it clear
C            G
It will never be right, guess we knew it all along
 Am         C
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
Em                    Am
Tell me one more time, my darlin' there's just one more thing
G
Before you walk away


Chorus:

         F   G           Am    C
Explain it to my heart, it's better that we're over now

Verse 2:

C       G
Now if I try, I can see the reasons why
    F
Why we can't stay together
F               G
And I might convince my mind
C               G
But it's breakin' my heart to know I've got to let you go
 Am         C
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
Em                     Am
I can tell myself a thousand lies but tell me now
G
Tell me how I do

Explain it to my heart, it's better that we're over now
            F      G          Am  C
Tell me one more time, this is the way it's suppose to be
         F         G       Em           Am
Tell me that I'm better off without you, how it's better to forget about you
F     C          F      G        C
