One Sweet Reason

E

[Verse 1]

       A
I have spent my time in goin'
      C#m
Never carin', never knowin'
     A                            E
Just what it was I might be goin' to

      A
And I planned on leavin' you the same
     C#m
Just up and go the way I came
    A                    F#                  B
But you may have noticed I'm still here with you

[Chorus]

N.C.         A         C#m
Yes, there's one sweet reason
           E             C#m
Why you're yet to see me leavin'
     A                          E
Just one thing between here and gone
         A
And it's wrapped up in your smile

And a pair of blue green eyes
                 F#                       B
And a touch that warms me like the fire's glow
    E                   A
Any number of a hundred things
      C#m               F#m
Would send me down that road
            A         B              E
But there's one sweet reason I don't go

[Verse 2]

     A
I've run from ties, I've cut my strings
     C#m
I've unlocked doors, I've broken chains
       A                    E
Fading like a shadow in the dawn

     A
When other loves have turned to clay
     C#m
I've turned my back and walked away
    A                 F#              B
And you should be the next to find me gone

[Chorus]

N.C.        A         C#m
But there's one sweet reason
           E             C#m
Why you're yet to see me leavin'
     A                          E
Just one thing between here and gone
         A
And it's wrapped up in your smile

And a pair of blue green eyes
                 F#                       B
And a touch that warms me like the fire's glow
    E                   A
Any number of a hundred things
      C#m               F#m
Would send me down that road
            A         B              E
But there's one sweet reason I don't go

[Verse 3]

      A
Now I find no need in goin'
         C#m
From the sweet love I've been knowin'
       A                                  E
To the restless ways and days that I once knew

    A
For more and more I've looked to find
     C#m
When leavin' creeps across my mind
     A               F#                   B
It's lost in all the days I've spent with you

[Chorus]

N.C.         A         C#m
Yes, there's one sweet reason
           E             C#m
Why you're yet to see me leavin'
     A                          E
Just one thing between here and gone
         A
And it's wrapped up in your smile

And a pair of blue green eyes
                 F#                       B
And a touch that warms me like the fire's glow
    E                   A
Any number of a hundred things
      C#m               F#m
Would send me down that road
            A         B              E
But there's one sweet reason I don't go

[Outro]

           A         B              E
You're the one sweet reason I don't go
