Explain It To My Heart

C            G
I understand there's no future for us here
       F
Guess, I fooled myself into thinkin' there was
F                          G
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

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

                 F      G                      Am        C
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            F  C   F         G              F      C
Darlin' I understand, now won't you please explain it to my heart?

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

                    F   G                      Am       C
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            F  C   F         G              F      C
Darlin', I understand, now won't you please explain it to my heart?
(not sure about first two chords on next line)
C                Am     F
Say that I'll be better if we don't stay together
G                                G                   A
Say that I'll be better off free but don't say it to me
A                Em
Explain it to my heart.
