Reasons chords by Marty Stuart

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: E

Difficulty: Novice

Verse 1:
E
It was the perfect excuse to get drunk
      A
As if lately I've needed one
           B
It was the perfect excuse to buy bullets
        A            B        E
For the barrel of my favorite gun
                          E7
It was the perfect way to show you
       A
How it feels inside of me
        B
And the perfect way to find out
       A        B      E     A B
How it feels to set me free

Chorus:
E                           A
Reasons, I keep looking for reasons
  B                               A       B      E     A B
I thought that I had loved you, I did the best I could
E                           A
Reasons, I keep looking for reasons
  Bb       B                        A         B        E     A B
I lost the reason for me living and that just ain't no good

Solo:
E E D/A A B B E C#

Verse 2:
  F#
I know that three's a crowded room
B
 But really this won't take long
          C#
I want to meet the man, help him understand
        B           C#           F#   B C#
What he did when he broke up our home
            F#
And I'll be going now to a place I know
      B
Thats deep, dark and quiet
  C#
A-way from the pain and the undying shame
   B         C#         F#    B C#
Of me and my unfaithful wife

Chorus:

Reasons, I keep looking for reasons
  C#                              B       C#     F#    B C#
I thought that I had loved you, I did the best I could
F#                          B
Reasons, I keep looking for reasons
           C#                       B         C#       F#
I lost the reason for me living and that just ain't no good
B  C        C#                       B         C#       F#
 I lost the reason for me living and that just ain't no good
