Reason

Made a few turns that led to nowhere

D/F# G C

Made some mistakes I cant reverse

D/F# G C C G/B

Made a few bucks while others struggled

Am G/B C

Made me aware things could be worse

D/F# G C

Try to return the things I borrow

D/F# G C

Never stole much more than a kiss

D/F# G C C G/B

Still somehow left a few hearts broken

Am G/B C Am G

And left a few places I won’t miss

Em Am G C

But there’s a reason I don’t walk away

Em Am D DG

Don’t go runnin in the night

I start believing when the sun comes up each day

C D C

You’re the reason that I stay

We were the ones born into freedom

We were the first to know no fear

Now there’s a fire burning closer

That never was meant to happen here

And maybe the flames of love that bound us

Will flicker and dim with passing time

And maybe the sky will crash around us

But baby I’ll never change my mind

Cause you’re the reason I don’t walk away

Don’t go runnin’ in the night

Still believing when the sun comes up each day

You’re the reason that I stay

It’s never easy when there’s nothing left to say

Cover your tracks and slip away

Where is the father who once held me?

Where is the brother that I knew?

Where are the words that once compelled me?

Where would my life be without you?
