Verse 1 
C 
There's no mistakin' what's taken place here, 
Fm 
I can't pretend anymore, 
    C 
You know that I love you, but its not enough 
   Fm                    G 
To keep you away from my door. 
        Am                        G 
Now its too late to wonder what's left to be tried 
F                       Fm 
Your mind's made up and my hands are tied. 
 
Chorus 
          C                        F                   C 
It's just one of those things that I can't do nothing about 
 
Your love is something that I'm gonna have to learn to live 
    G 
without 
        C                          C7 
I could beg, I could plead and get down on my knees 
      F                             Fm 
But I think I've finally figured it out 
          C                    G                   C 
It's just one of those things, I can't do nothing about.

Verse 2 
   C 
So bring on the tears and bring on the heartaches 
Fm 
Let me get on with my pain 
   C                     Am 
If this is good-bye then let's get it over 
F                          G 
There's nothing left to explain 
    Am                         G 
Now God knows I've tried, I've tried for so long 
       F                     Fm 
What's left of my heart will have to be strong
