D Bm
I just can't do it, not anymore
D Bm
Every time I fake a smile, feel just like a whore
D Bm
I just can't do it, it's beyond my means
D Bm
And all I know about love, reading fashion magazines
D Bm
I just can't do it, it can't be done
D Bm
That's just what I say, 'cause I know I'm not the one
G F# Bm
And I've been moving for so long
G F# Bm
Life's a million miles away
G F# Bm
And I'm the one that made you strong, girl
G F# Bm
But I could not make you stay
D Bm
I just can't do it, it's much too hard
D Bm
I drive around alone at night, up and down the boulevard
D Bm
I just can't do it, I feel so old
D Bm
It looks like the sun is shining but the wind is blowing cold
D Bm
I just can't do it, it's gone too far
D Bm
I sit at home alone at night, just wondering where you are
G F# Bm
And I've been moving for so long
G F# Bm
Life's a million miles away
G F# Bm
And I'm the one that made you strong, girl
G F# Bm
But I could not make you stay

And then the rest of the solo which I haven't tabbed yet
Same chords for the rest of the song
I just can't do it, no matter how hard I try
You don't come around anymore but I know the reason why
I just can't do it, it's way too late
I hang on with all my might, I can't accept this fate
I just can't do it, I feel so bad
I sit around and think, about all the chances that I've had
And I've been hurting for so long
You're a million miles away
And I'm the one that made you strong, girl
But I could not make you stay
But I could not make you stay
No, I could not make you stay
