[Verse 1]
[C]I understand [G]there's no future for us here
Guess, [F]I fooled myself into thinkin' there was
[F]Now you've made it clear[G]
[C]It will never be right, [G]guess we knew it all along
N[Am]ow we've got to say [C]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]Tell me one more time, my darlin' there's [Am]just one more thing
[G]Before you walk away
[Chorus]
Explain it to my [F]heart, [G]it's better that we're [Am]over now[C]
Tell me one more time, [F]this is the [G]way it's suppose to [Am]be[C]
Tell me that I'm [F]better off without [G]you, how it's [Em]better to forget about [Am]you
[F]Darlin' I [C]understand, now won't [F]you please [G]explain it to my [C]heart?
[Verse 2]
[C]Now if I try, [G]I can see the reasons why
Why we [F]can't stay together
[F]And I might convince my mind[G]
[C]But it's breakin' my heart to k[G]now I've got to let you go
T[Am]o find that I must [C]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]I can tell myself a thousand lies but tell m[Am]e now
[G]Tell me how I do
[Chorus 2]
Explain it to my hea[F]rt, [G]it's better that we're [Am]over now[C]
Tell me one more time, [F]this is the [G]way it's suppose to [Am]be[C]
Tell me that I'm [F]better off without [G]you, how it's [Em]better to forget about [Am]you
[F]Darlin', I [C]understand, now won't[F] you please [G]explain it to my[C] heart?
(not sure about first two chords on next line)
[C]Say that I'll be [Am]better [F]if we don't stay together
[G]Say that I'll be better off free [G]but don't say it to [A]me
[A]Explain it to my [Em]heart.
