Ain't No Reason
By Brett Dennen
There ain't no rBbeason things are this Dmway
BbIt's how they've always been and they intend to stay Dm C
I can't exBbplain why we live this Dmway
We do it everyCday
Preachers on the pBbodium speaking the saDmints
Prophets on the sidBbewalk begging for chDmangCe
Old ladies lBbaugh from the fire escDmape
Cursing my nCame
I got a basket full of leBbmons and they always taste the sDmame
A window and a piBbdgen with a broken wingDm C
You could spend you whBbole life working for someDmthing
Just to have it taken aCway
People walk aBbround pushing back their dDmesks
Wearing payBbchecks like necklaces and brDmacelets C
Talking about notBbhing, not thinking about dDmeath
C Dm (no bottom E string) C
Every little heartbeat every little breath
People walk a tBbight rope on a razor's eDmdge
Carrying their hBburt and hatred and weapDmons C
It could be a bBbomb, or a bullet or a Dmpin
Or a thought, or a wCord, or a sentence
There ain't no rBbeason things are this Dmway
It's how they've always bBbeen and they intend to sDmtayC
I dont't know Bbwhy i say the things i Dmsay
But i say them anyCway
Love will come set me fDmree Bb C
Love will come set me fDmree, BbI do belieCve
Love will come set me fDmree, BbI know it Cwill
Love will come set me fDmree Bb C
Prison waBblls still standing tDmall
Some thinBbgs never change at aDmll C
Keep on building prBbisons gonna fill them Dmall
C Dm (no bottom E string) C
Keep on building bombs gonna drop them all
Working your fBbingers bare to the bDmone
Breaking your Bbback to make yourself Dmuseful C
Laugh along, iBbt's filled with cDmold
Suffocating sloCw
The wind blows wBbild and i may mDmove
But politicians Bblie and i am not foDmoled C
You don't need nBbo reason nor a three-piece sDmuit
To argue the trutCh
The air on my sBbkin, and the world under my Dmtoes
Slavery stitcheBbd in to the fabric of my cloDmthes C
Chaos and comBbmotion wherever i Dmgo
Love i try to foCllow
Love will come set me fDmree Bb C
Love will come set me fDmree, BbI do belieCve
Love will come set me fDmree, BbI know it Cwill
Love will come set me fDmree Bb C
There ain't no rBbeason things are this Dmway
It's how they've always bBbeen and they intend to sDmtayC
I can't exBbplain why we live this Dmway
We do it everCyday
