Hi everyone, this great song is pretty easy, but I haven't found a tab out there so I found it out
by myself and thought it could be cool for others to start working on it from what I found out.
DI just can't do it, Bmnot anymore
DEvery time I fake a Bmsmile, feel just like a whore
DI just can't do it, Bmit's beyond my means
DAnd all I know about Bmlove, reading fashion magazines
DI just can't do it, Bmit can't be done
DThat's just what I sBmay, 'cause I know I'm not the one
  GAnd I've beF#en moving for so lBmong
  GLife's a miF#llion miles aBmway
 GAnd I'm the F#one that made you Bmstrong, girl
 GBut I could F#not make you sBmtay
DI just can't do it, Bmit's much too hard
DI drive around alone at night, Bmup and down the boulevard
DI just can't do it, BmI feel so old
DIt looks like the sun is shining but Bmthe wind is blowing cold
DI just can't do it, Bmit's gone too far
DI sit at home alone at night, jBmust wondering where you are
  GAnd I've beF#en moving for so lBmong
  GLife's a miF#llion miles aBmway
 GAnd I'm the F#one that made you Bmstrong, girl
 GBut I could F#not make you sBmtay

[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
