If I Had A Reason

E  G#m  C#m  F#m  E  C#m  B E

[Verse 1]
E          B          C#m               F#m
If I had a reason I'd tell you what it is
     E               A    F#m
Must I explain how I feel
     E              G#m      C#m          F#m
I've tried and I've tried to make it so clear
     E              C#m    B E
But my time is just wasted I fear

[Verse 2]
E                 B                C#m                F#m
Well it's only an old song but it serves it's purpose well
       E                       A    F#m
By the cry in your voice I can tell
         E              G#m     C#m        F#m
When you sing there's a feeling behind the words
     E         C#m   B  E
That brings it all back again

[Bridge]
E   B                             G#m        B
I'm reaching, I'm reaching, while you slip away
B
I'm searching for words I can say
                              G#m            B
I'm listening, I'm listening, tryin' not to hear
                                C#m  B
You say that we might meet some day

[Verse 3]
B         E               B        C#m               F#m
There's a picture that's faded and curling from it's frame
     E                F#m G#m A F#m
Of a face that smiles patiently
   E           G#m        C#m            F#m
It might smile forever to make me feel better
    E      C#m    B   E
But I just might wait to see

[Bridge]
E   B                             G#m        B
I'm reaching, I'm reaching, while you slip away
B
I'm searching for words I can say
                              G#m            B
I'm listening, I'm listening, tryin' not to hear
                                C#m  B
You say that we might meet some day

[Verse 4]
B       E                         C#m             F#m
There's answers to questions that we both wanna know
          E                    A   F#m
But those answers keep evading me
        E                  G#m              C#m                F#m
There's rhymes and there's reasons, there's rights and there's wrongs
    E          C#m     B  E
For being what you are to me

[Verse 5]
E            B                           F#m
If I had a a reason I'd tell you what it is
          E                 F#m G#m A  F#m
Would you do the same thing for  me?
           E          G#m        C#m             F#m
"Cause the minute you go there's one thing I know
         E             C#m     B   E
That the day will mean nothing for me
