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

C#m           G# 
No matter how hard I try 
  A                 F# 
I can't stop loving you 
B 
I can't tell my heart 
 
I can't tell my heart 
                               E 
I can't tell my heart  what to do
