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

Tell me that I'm better off without you, how it's better to forget about you

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