Ain't No Reason
By Brett Dennen

        Bb majorBb          DmDm
There ain't no reason things are this way
Bb majorBb                          DmDm C majorC
It's how they've always been and they intend to stay
     Bb majorBb           DmDm
I can't explain why we live this way
       C majorC
We do it everyday

         Bb majorBb          DmDm
Preachers on the podium speaking the saints
          Bb majorBb         DmDm C majorC
Prophets on the sidewalk begging for change
      Bb majorBb          DmDm
Old ladies laugh from the fire escape
      C majorC
Cursing my name

             Bb majorBb               DmDm
I got a basket full of lemons and they always taste the same
         Bb majorBb           DmDm C majorC
A augmentedA window and a pidgen with a broken wing
           Bb majorBb            DmDm
You could spend you whole life working for something
            C majorC
Just to have it taken away

       Bb majorBb            DmDm
People walk around pushing back their desks
      Bb majorBb             DmDm   C majorC
Wearing paychecks like necklaces and bracelets
         Bb majorBb            DmDm
Talking about nothing, not thinking about death
            C majorC      DmDm (no bottom E MajorE string) C majorC
Every little heartbeat every little breath

        Bb majorBb           DmDm
People walk a tight rope on a razor's edge
        Bb majorBb           DmDm   C majorC
Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons
        Bb majorBb          DmDm
It could be a bomb, or a bullet or a pin
          C majorC
Or a thought, or a word, or a sentence

        Bb majorBb          DmDm
There ain't no reason things are this way
             Bb majorBb           DmDm C majorC
It's how they've always been and they intend to stay
       Bb majorBb           DmDm
I dont't know why i say the things i say
         C majorC
But i say them anyway

            DmDm  Bb majorBb  C majorC
Love will come set me free
            DmDm  Bb majorBb    C majorC
Love will come set me free, I do believe
            DmDm  Bb majorBb    C majorC
Love will come set me free, I know it will
            DmDm  Bb majorBb    C majorC
Love will come set me free

     Bb majorBb         DmDm
Prison walls still standing tall
     Bb majorBb         DmDm   C majorC
Some things never change at all
          Bb majorBb          DmDm
Keep on building prisons gonna fill them all
          C majorC          DmDm (no bottom E MajorE string) C majorC
Keep on building bombs gonna drop them all

       Bb majorBb         DmDm
Working your fingers bare to the bone
       Bb majorBb          DmDm   C majorC
Breaking your back to make yourself useful
       Bb majorBb        DmDm
Laugh along, it's filled with cold
        C majorC
Suffocating slow

        Bb majorBb       DmDm
The wind blows wild and i may move
        Bb majorBb         DmDm  C majorC
But politicians lie and i am not fooled
        Bb majorBb             DmDm
You don't need no reason nor a three-piece suit
         C majorC
To argue the truth

        Bb majorBb             DmDm
The air on my skin, and the world under my toes
        Bb majorBb             DmDm   C majorC
Slavery stitched in to the fabric of my clothes
       Bb majorBb        DmDm
Chaos and commotion wherever i go
        C majorC
Love i try to follow

            DmDm  Bb majorBb  C majorC
Love will come set me free
            DmDm  Bb majorBb    C majorC
Love will come set me free, I do believe
            DmDm  Bb majorBb    C majorC
Love will come set me free, I know it will
            DmDm  Bb majorBb    C majorC
Love will come set me free

        Bb majorBb          DmDm
There ain't no reason things are this way
             Bb majorBb           DmDm C majorC
It's how they've always been and they intend to stay
     Bb majorBb           DmDm
I can't explain why we live this way
       C majorC
We do it everyday
