Reason Why

G               C5(9)             G   C5(9)
 I think about how it might have been
G                      C5(9)  G  C5(9)
 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
             C5(9)
The way you wanted me

          G           C5(9)       G            C5(9)
So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
            G
And we can hang our heads down
        C5(9)          G   C5(9)
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                C5(9)                   G   C5(9)
 I'll buy a magazine searching for your face
G                         C5(9)                      G    C5(9)
 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
              C5(9)
It's not the same

          G         C5(9)         G            C5(9)
So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
    G                        C5(9)
We can pat ourselves on the back
                   G   C5(9)
And say that we tried
       G                   C5(9)
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
            C5(9)   D2                     G
But you and I         know the reason why
     C5(9)                      G
I'm gone, and you're still there
     C5(9)                      G
I'm gone, and you're still there
     C5(9)                      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     C5(9)    D7
But you only showed me the door

            G         C5(9)       G            C5(9)
So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
    G                        C5(9)
We can pat ourselves on the back
                  G     C5(9)
And say that we tried

       G                   C5(9)
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
            C5(9)    D2
But you and I
        C5(9)    F/D
You and
        C5(9)    D2                        G   C5(9)   G  C5(9)   
You and I             know the reason why
