Aint No Reason Brett Dennen
There [C]ain't no reason things[G] are this way
It'[D]s how they' always been and they intend to sta[Em]y
I can't exp[C]lain why we live this way[G]
We do it every [D]day
Preachers on [C]the podium speakin'[G] of saints
Prophets [D]on the sidewalk beggin'[Em] for change
Old ladi[C]es laughin' from the fi[G]re escape
Cursin' my [D]name
I got a basket full of lemons and t[C]hey all taste the same [G]
A window and a pigeon with a [D]broken wing [Em]
Y[C]ou can spend your whole life work[G]in' for something
Just to ha[D]ve it taken away
People w[C]alk around pushin' back their d[G]ebts
Wearin' paychecks l[D]ike necklaces and bracelet
Talkin[C]' 'bout nothin', not thinkin' 'bo[G]ut death
Every little he[D]artbeat, every little breath
Pe[C]ople walk a tightrope on a razor'[G]s edge
Carryin' t[D]heir hurt and hatred and weapons
It [C]could be a bomb or a bullet or a pe[G]n
a thought or a word [D]or a sentence
T[C]here ain't no reason things ar[G]e this way
I[D]t's how they' always been and they intend t[Em]o stay
I [C]can't explain why we live this[G] way
We do it every[D] day
But love will come s[C]et me[Em] free [D]
Love will come set me free, [C]I do[Em] [D] believe
Love will come set me free, [C]I kn[Em]ow it [D] will
Love will come set me free, yes [C] [Em] [D]
Prison w[C]alls still standin' ta[G]ll
[D]Some things never change at all [Em]
[C]Keep on buildin' prisons, gonna fill them [G]all
[D]Keep on buildin' bombs, gonna drop them all
W[C]orkin' your fingers bare to the[G] bones
[D]Breakin' your back, make you sell yo[Em]ur soul
L[C]ike a lung that's filled with coal [G]
[D]Suffocatin' slow
[C]The wind blows wild and I may[G] move
Bu[D]t politicians lie and I am not f[Em]ooled
[C]You don't need no reason or a three-piece suit [G]
[D]To argue the truth
The a[C]ir on my skin and world under my toes [G]
Slaver[D]y stitched into the fabric of my [Em]clothes
Ch[C]aos and commotion wherever I go [G]
[D]Love I try to follow
But love will come [C]set m[Em]e free [D]
Love will come set me free, [C]I do[Em] [D] believe
Love will come set me free, [C]I kn[Em]ow it [D] will
Love will come set me free, yes [C] [Em] [D]
There ain't no reason thin[C]gs are this way [G]
It's how they' always b[D]een and they intend to stay [Em]
I [C]can't explain why we live this way [G]
We do it every[D] day
