E5          A5        E5      A5 
I tried to look you in the eye 
E5 
And say that 
    F#5   B5 
I'm doing fine 
E5           A5 
But we both know 
     E5      A5 
That I'm a liar 
E5                      F#5       B5 
I still want you after all this time 
C#5           G#5 
No matter how hard I try 
A5                   F#5  
I can't stop loving you 
B5                             E5    F#5  B5 
I can't tell my heart what to do 
E5                 A5 
Since you've been gone 
E5              A5 
The nights are longer 
E5 
I never thought that it 
      F#5      B5  
Would end this way 
E5       A5            E5     A5 
I tell myself I'm getting stronger 
E5                         F#5   B5 
But the truth gets harder every day 
C#5           G#5 
I try to convince myself 
A5                  F#5 
That you and I are through 
B5                                 E5 
But I can't tell my heart what to do 
D5                          E5 
My heart won't listen to a word I say 
D5                          A5 
I don't believe you really went away 
F#5                             A5          B5 
Deep down my heart is so afraid of letting go 
 
SOLO 
 

C#5           G#5 
No matter how hard I try 
  A5                 F#5 
I can't stop loving you 
B5 
I can't tell my heart 
 
I can't tell my heart 
                               E5 
I can't tell my heart  what to do
