Reasons Why

Intro = verse 1st half Em D C D Where am I today? I wish that I knew, Em D A C D 'Cause looking around there's no sign of you. Em D C I don't remember one jump or one leap, Em D A C D Just quiet steps away from your lead. Em D C D I'm holding my heart out but clutching it too, Em D A C D Feeling this sort of a love that we once knew. Em D C I'm calling this home when it's not even close, Em D A C D Playing the role with nerves left exposed. D C G D C G Standing on a darkened stage, stumbling through the lines. A7 D Em G C D Others have excuses, but I have my reasons why. Em D C D We get distracted by dreams of our own, Em D A C D But nobody's happy while feeling alone, Em D C And knowing how hard it hurts when we fall, Em D A C D We lean another ladder against the wrong wall. D C G D C And climb high to the highest rung, to shake fists at the sky. Em G C D While others have excuses, I have my reasons why. D C Em D With so much deception it's hard not to wander away, C Em D It's hard not to wander away, It's hard not to wander away. ====
