But if you don't wanna do that play C G C
[Verse]
A little girl Csinks in the deep end and G7looks up towards the sCky
Into a Flittle blue world of legs and her feet that Clook like they're in flight
Chord 1 C
And a slow motion dance while the water expands the sun's refracted light
She just Dmhas to pretend Amshe can hear the muGsic
When she starts Ccrying in her goggles the G7scene becomes Cunclear
She keeps Fpeering into this underworld through theC filter of her tears
Chord 1 C
Which let her keep hold of the moment as if it was a souvenir
Dm Am G Chord 3 G
She just has to pretend she knows how to use it
[Chorus]
Maybe it's a Fcold dark Amtruth that makes her Dmcry
Maybe it's a Fancient paAmst life memory recallDmed
Maybe it's a Fchemical tAmhat got into her Dmeye
C Chord 2 Am
Maybe it's for no good reason at all
Riff C
Maybe it's for no good reason at all
[Verse]
His wife asked Chow were things at work today asG7 Bill walked through the Cdoor
He put his cFoat on the chair, his keys on the table, and his Ceyes down on the floor
Chord 1 C
And he tightened his jaw and he thought how the cause and effects weren't clear anymore
DmFiguring out Amhow to say what's Gwrong
He Csaid I know that I'll be leaving you G7that's all I really Cknow
But I Fwish I could tell what exactly compels me to Cturn my steps and go
Chord 1 C
Because there's so much love that you've given me there's so much love that I owe.
Dm Am G Chord 3 G
It's with myself that I can't seem to get along
[Chorus]
Maybe he just Ffelt the Amhungry hand of Dmfate
Maybe he won't Frest Amuntil he sees it Dmfall
Maybe it's a Fmood that he's Amin just for the Dmday
C Chord 2 Am
Maybe it's for no good reason at all
Riff C
Maybe it's for no good reason at all
[Verse]
An Cactor was found dead today in his G7Culver City Chome
And with no Fevidence of foul play it seemed he Cacted on his own
Chord 1 C
The position of his body looked like he was reaching for the phone
Dm Am G Chord 3 G
Makes you wonder who he was gonna call
[Chorus]
Maybe all his Fdemons were Amsettling their Dmdebts
Maybe all the Fpressure finallyAm drove him to the Dmwall
Maybe there were Fsecrets that heAm needed to Dmprotect
C Chord 2 Am
Maybe it's for no good reason at all
Riff
Maybe it's for no good reason
Riffy
No good reason
Riff it up C
No good reason at all
