Verse:
C majorC         E MajorE       A minorAm
Beauty queens and libertines and beggars on their benches
   C majorC        E MajorE         A minorAm
They go to sleep and dream like you and I
C majorC             E MajorE     A minorAm
Billionaires behind their walls and soldiers in their trenches
   C majorC        E MajorE      A minorAm
We're all just looking for a reason why

Pre-Chorus:
       C majorC     E MajorE    A minorAm
To get out of bed in the morning (Ahh)
         C majorC      E MajorE     A minorAm
To fight off the urge to just go call it quits
        C majorC     E MajorE   A minorAm
'Cuz sometimes reality is boring (Ahh)
      C majorC        E MajorE      A minorAm
And it's a shame, but it's just how it is

Chorus:
C majorC   E MajorE      A minorAm
Everybody's gotta live (yes, they do)
C majorC     E MajorE      A minorAm
And everybody's gonna die (die die)
C majorC   E MajorE         A minorAm
Everybody try to have a, a good time
C majorC      E MajorE        Am*
I think you know the reason why

Verse:
  C majorC        E MajorE         A minorAm
So pour a drink, or have a smoke, cuz we all got our vices
   C majorC       E MajorE       A minorAm
Just doing what we need to to get by
C majorC         E MajorE        A minorAm
Wear a dress, your Sunday best, whatever you feel nice in
  C majorC        E MajorE       A minorAm
Cuz God knows we all need a reason why

Verse:
C majorC       E MajorE        A minorAm
Taxi cars and prison bars, and history repeating
  C majorC        E MajorE       A minorAm
We build our little boxes, you and I
  C majorC          E MajorE          A minorAm
So cross your heart or read your cards, whatever you believe in
   C majorC        E MajorE       A minorAm
'Cuz God knows we all need a reason why

Pre-Chorus:
