The Reason Why Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I think about how[C] it
might have [G]been[C]
[G]We'd spend our days
[C]traveli[G]n'[C]
[Am]It's not that I [G]don't understand you
It's [C]not that I don't [G]want
to be with you
But you [D]only wanted me
The way you wanted [C]me

[Verse 2]
So, I [G]will head out [Am]alone and
[G]hope for the best[Am]
And we [G]can hang our heads down as we
[Am]skip the [G]good[Am]byes
[G]You can tell the world what you
[Am]want them to hear
I've got [Dm]nothing left [Am]to lose, my dear
So, I'm [Bm]up for the little white li[Dm]es
[Bdim]But you [Dm]and I[C][D]
know the reason [G]why
I'm [Am]gone, [G]and[Am] you're still the[G]re

[Verse 3]
[Am]I'll [G]buy[Am] a m[G]agazine
[C]searching for your fac[G]e[C]
[G]From coast to coast,
[C]or whatever I find my [G]place[C]
[Am]I'll track you on the radio[G]
And I'll [C]sign your list in a dif[G]ferent name
[Bm]But as close[D] as I come to you
It's not the same
[C]

[Verse 4]
So, I [G]will head out [Am]alone and
[G]hope for the best[Am]
We can [G]pat ourselves on the [Am]back
and say [G]that we tried[Am]
And if [G]one of us makes [Am]it big
We can [Dm]spill our regret[Am]s
And [Bm]talk about how the love never [Dm]dies
But you and I [C]know [D]the reason why[G]
I'm [Am]gone, [G]and[Am] you're

[Interlude 1]
still there
[G][Am][G][Am]

[Verse 5]
[Bm]So, steal the show
And do your be[E]st to cover
the tracks that I have left
[Am]I wish you well and hope you find[D]
whatever you're looking for
[Am]The way I might've changed my mi[D]nd
But you only showed me the door

[Verse 6]
[D]So, [C]I w[D]ill h[G]ead out alone [Am]and
[G]hope for the best[Am]
We can [G]pat ourselves on the [Am]back
and say that [G]we tried[Am]
And if [G]one of us makes [Am]it big
We can [Dm]spill our re[Am]grets
And [Bm]talk about how the love never [Dm]dies
But [C]you and [D]I[Bm][Bdim][E]
[C]know[D]

[Outro 1]
the reason why
