Good Reason

Intro 
G D Am C 


 
       G                      D 
Took a sharp knife, more than once or twice 
       Am                     C 
To the heart of this, and you threatened it 
    G               D 
Metaphorically, accidentally 
                   Am         C 
You called me your everything 
        G                   D 
And the pressure, I have to emphasize 
         Am                     C 
Made our roof cave in, built by idiots 
         G              D 
Still so earnestly over carefully 
          Am                 C 
Questions crept back into my head again 
 

 
            G      D                   Am 
That's when I knew suddenly I would be leaving 
    C                    G 
And neither of us saw it coming 
   D                 Am     C 
If only I had a good reason 
            G       D                         Am 
That's when I knew, honestly, you would start bleeding 
        C                  G 
Just to cover it up for my feelings 
   D                 Am     C 
If only I had a good rason 
 

 
     G                        D 
Am I thinking straight? Was I meant to stay? 
           Am                C                         G 
You're too nice to m when I tell you things you don't wanna hear 
       D                   Am              C 
Like I spent the year over-promising, over everything 
 

 
            G       D                     Am 
That's when I knew, suddenly you would be grieving 
    C                     G 
I'm only half sure that I mean it 
   D                 Am     C 
If only I had a good reason 
        G 
Oh, but I bet 
      D                      Am 
Youd probably sit there and take it 
      C                    G 
Well, that only makes me regret it 
   D                 Am     C 
If only I had a good reason 
 

 
G          D 
 If only I had a good reason 
Am           C 
  If only it wasn't bad timing 
G          D 
 If only I chose you and not me 
Am           C 
  If only we leaned into fighting 
G            D 
 If only you got disappointed 
Am          C 
  If only I kept every promise 
G            D 
 If only you treated me poorly 
Am            C 
  If only you didn't adore me 
G D Am            C 
      If only you didn't adore me 
 

 
G       D                   Am 
I knew, suddenly I would be leaving 
    C                    G 
And neither of us saw it coming 
   D                 Am     C 
If only I had a good reason 
            G 
That's when I knew 
      D                      Am 
You'd probably sit there and take it 
      C                    G 
Well, that only makes me regret it 
   D                 Am     C 
If only I had a good reason
