Reason Why(Chords)

	        
G		  C 		 G	C  
 I think about how it might have been  
  
G		  C 		 G	C  
 We'd spend our days travelin'  
  
Am	   	       G  
 It's not that I don't understand you  
  
Am	   	       G   
 It's not that I don't want to be with you  
  
        Am  
But you only wanted me  
  
            C  
The way you wanted me  
  
  
	   G         C       G             C  
So, I will head out alone and hope for the best  
  
           G  
And we can hang our heads down  
  
     C             G     C  
As we skip the goodbyes  
  
            G                       C  
And you can tell the world what you want them to hear  
  
         Dm              Am  
I've got nothing left to lose, my dear  
  
        Bm                      F/D  
So, I'm up for the little white lies  
  
            C    D2                   G  
But you and I         know the reason why  
  
    C                      G  
I'm gone, and you're still there  
  
    C                      G  
I'm gone, and you're still there  
  
    C                      G  
I'm gone, and you're still there  
  
  
G		    C 		        G	C  
 I'll buy a magazine searching for your face  
  
G		        C 		   G	   C  
 From coast to coast or wherever I find my place  
  
Am                     G  
 I'll track you on the radio, and  
  
     Am                  Dm  
I'll sign your list in a different name  
  
       Am  
But as close as I get to you  
  
             C  
It's not the same  
  
  
  
	   G         C       G             C  
So, I will head out alone and hope for the best  
  
   G                             C  
We can pat ourselves on the back  
  
                G       C  
And say that we tried  
  
       G                  C  
And if one of us makes it big  
  
       Dm           Am  
We can spill our regrets  
  
    Bm                             F/D  
And talk about how the love never dies  
  
            C    D2                   G  
But you and I         know the reason why  
  
    C                      G  
I'm gone, and you're still there  
  
    C                      G  
I'm gone, and you're still there  
  
    C                      G  
I'm gone, and you're still there  
  
  
  
  
Bm				 F/D  
 So, steal the show, and do your best  
  
                                Am  
To cover the tracks that I have left  
  
                             D7  
I wish you well and hope you find  
  
                        Am  
Whatever you're looking for  
  
                              D7  
The way I might've changed my mind  
  
                           Am    Bm     C    D7  
But you only showed me the door  
  
  
  
  
	   G         C       G             C  
So, I will head out alone and hope for the best  
  
   G                             C  
We can pat ourselves on the back  
  
                G       C  
And say that we tried  
  
       G                  C  
And if one of us makes it big  
  
       Dm           Am  
We can spill our regrets  
  
    Bm                             F/D  
And talk about how the love never dies  
  
            C    D2   
But you and I                    
  
        C    F/D  
You and I--------  
  
        C     D2                       G      C   G  C   G  C   G  
You and I             know the reason why
