You Gotta Do What You Gotta Do

Lonesome River Band

G C G

1. I just got a call from my good girl today

2. There’s times that I know I’ve not been there for you

3. I guess it would be better if I’d never known your love

G C G

1. Said she must be going on her way

2. Maybe that’s the reason for your leaving

3. Then I wouldn’t know just what I’m missing

C D G C

1. There’s better things on down the line, and I’ll not try to change her mind

2. I’ll try to keep you off my mind, cause a girl like you is hard to find

3. But I’ve seen that look in your eyes, and now it comes as no surprise

C D G

1. She seems to think we’re better off this way

2. But somehow I’ll just have to stop my grief

3. That another’s lips you soon will be kissing

<CHORUS>

G C G C

But my heart, it breaks in two

G C D

It can’t believe that it’s true

G C G Em

Though I want you to stay, you’re leaving anyway

C D G

But you gotta do what you gotta do
