Tuning:
I copied this from his appearance on the Take Your Shoes Off Podcast with Rick Glassman. I did the best I
could to transcribe but it's not perfect.
A couple of notes:
- The transition from Fmaj7 -> C he pulls off the 2nd finger on the G string and strums up once, then pulls
off the pinky and hammers the 2nd finger on the D string to create a C on the next down strum.
- He plays some advanced versions of G and Am someimtes, I'm not exactly sure how he plays it but you can
watch the video and try to recreate if you want.
Reason Why - Allen Stone
[Intro]
Fmaj7 C E Am Fmaj7 G Am Fmaj7 G Am
[Verse 1]
If every Fmaj7angel C Ewho carried my prayers Amto Jesus
Was actually Fmaj7faithfCul,
Why doesn't it Gfeel like our AmGod sees us?
I wrote a Fmaj7hundred times Cwithout an answer.
EStill, my mom Amdied from that cancer.
Fmaj7 Maybe it's the Gangels I shouAmld blame.
[Verse 2]
If every Fmaj7preachCer Ewho carried my hopes toAm Mary
Actually Fmaj7reached herC,
Then why does Glife feel so Amscary?
'Cause I Fmaj7paid my titheC to Abraham,
he Espent it all on Ambombs again.
Fmaj7 Maybe it's mGy preacher I shouldAm blame.
[Chorus]
Oh, Fmaj7Give me one good rCeason
EFor me to keep Ambelieving.
When Fmaj7everything I'm Cseeing
Shows me Gotherwise.
I am Fmaj7open to Creceiving,
But I'm Eweary from the Amweeping.
Fmaj7Good God, all IC'm needing iGs a sign,
Just Fmaj7one good Greason wFmaj7hy. C E Am Fmaj7 G Am
[Verse 3]
If every Fmaj7altar C Ewhere we lay our Amburdens
Actually Fmaj7caught 'em,C
Then none of Gus would be Amhurting.
Well, I Fmaj7bow my head a Cthousand ways
To Elook away from Amall the pain.
Fmaj7 Maybe it's my Galtar I shouAmld blame.
[Chorus]
So, Fmaj7Give me one good rCeason
EFor me to keep Ambelieving.
When Fmaj7everything I'm Cseeing
Shows me Gotherwise.
I am Fmaj7open to Creceiving,
But I'm Eweary from the Amweeping.
Fmaj7Good God, all IC'm needing iGs a sign,
Just Fmaj7one good Greason wAmhy.
I need Fmaj7one good Greason wFmaj7hy. C E Am
[Outro]
Oh, you know I'm Fmaj7open to Creceiving,
But I'm Esick and tired of Amseeking.
Fmaj7Good God, all I'mC needing iGs a sign,
Just Fmaj7one goodG reason Amwhy.
I need Fmaj7one goodG reason Amwhy.
I need Fmaj7one gooGd reason whFmaj7y. C E Am
Oh I just need, Fmaj7one goodG reasoCn why.
