F                   Dm
I don't want to let go
F                         Dm
But I can't hold on much longer
Gm                      C
For this feeling won't go
F                         Dm
Yeah it's only getting stronger

Chorus:
A#                       C
Well, I wish it wasn't true
                      Dm
I wish I could lie to you
         C              A#
Tell you everything's alright
Gm                   C
But I don't think I can
                 Dm
'Cos I'm just a man
  C                   A#
Tryin' to do what's right
                              F
I'm just tryin' to do what's right

I don't want to walk away
But I can't stay here much longer
For this feeling won't change
Yeah we're not getting younger

Chorus:
Well I wish it wasn't true
I wish I could lie to you
Tell you everything's alright
But I don't think I can
'Cause I'm just a man
Tryin' to do what's right
See I'm just tryin' to do what's right

            F                  Dm
You can't stop the fire from blowing out
           Am                 A#
You can't keep the tide from going out
     F                           Gm                  Dm C
You can't stop the wolves from scratching at the door
           F                    Dm
You can't keep the rivers from running
    Am                         A#
Or hide from the storm that's coming
     F                  Gm                      Dm  C
You can't find love if love ain't there no more, no-oh
            F                   Dm
You can't stop the walls from closing in
        Am                  A#
Or the pain that comes bulldozing in
         F           Gm                    Dm       C
Or the gravity that pulls you to the floor,  whoa, no
           F                   Dm
You can't feel what you can't feel
          Am                 A#
You just play the hand they deal
     F                   Gm        Dm
And sometimes you can't do any more
           C
You can't do any more

Chorus:
Well I wish it wasn't true
I wish I could lie to you
Tell you everything's alright
But I don't think I can
'Cause I'm just a man
Tryin' to do what's right
Just tryna' do what's right
