Reasons To Be Free chords by Greene Jackie

by Jackie Greene
standard tuning, no capo

The strumming is a little difficult, so listen closely to the recording. I didn't type
in, but some of the "D"s switch quickly to "Dsus4" (xx0233) and back, and the "Am"s in
pre-chorus switch to "Asus2" (002200) and back.

G
Cry, cry, mud in your eye
Am
Oh, you’re going through the reasons why
G

Doing anything to justify
D
How it got this way
G
Diamond necklace, diamond rings
Am
Oh, how much more it stings
G
Watching you collect your things
     D
And what you want to say

         D
Ought to say, ought to say
        D
And you say, and you say

     Am
That I don’t owe you nothing
   C
I never could tell that you
Am
You don’t need my loving
      C
Just get it from someone else
C
C
I just want a reason to be free from you
      G
Yes I do

G
Too much time, and too much wine
Am
Cut a hole in this heart of mine
G
But I’ll lie and say I’m feeling fine
D
Sleepin’ in my clothes
    G
I could be right, I could be wrong
Am
To think about you while I’m gone
G
Love writes the saddest songs
      D
And that’s just how it goes

        D
Yes it goes, yes it goes
        D
And it goes, yes it goes

    Am
Now I don’t owe you nothing
   C
I never could tell that you
Am
You don’t need my loving
      C
Just get it from someone else
C
C
I just want a reason to be free from you
      G
Yes I do

D

G
Now all this pain I can’t explain
            Am
It’s like running out of cover in the pouring rain
           G
It’s like waving goodbye to a train
        D
That’s moving down the track
G
And all I know when the day is done
Am
You can’t love just anyone
G
It don’t matter where they’re going
              D
Or if they’re ever coming back

        D
Coming back, coming back
        D
Coming back, they ain’t coming back

    Am
But I don’t owe you nothing
   C
I never could tell that you
Am
You don’t need my loving
      C
Just get it from someone else
C
C
I just want a reason to be free from you
      G
Yes I do

C
