Aint No Reason Brett Dennen
There ain't no [Bb]reason things are this [F]way
It's how they' always [C]been and they intend to [Dm]stay
I c[C]an't [Bb]explain why we live this [F]way
We do it every [C]day
Preachers on the [Bb]podium speakin' of [F]saints
Prophets on the [C]sidewalk beggin' for [Dm]change
Old [C]ladies [Bb]laughin' from the fire [F]escape
Cursin' my [C]name
Repeat these chords again through each verse
I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same
A window and a pigeon with a broken wing
You can spend your whole life workin' for something
Just to have it taken away
People walk around pushin' back their debts
Wearin' paychecks like necklaces and bracelets
Talkin' 'bout nothin', not thinkin' 'bout death
Every little heartbeat, every little breath
People walk a tightrope on a razor's edge
Carryin' their hurt and hatred and weapons
It could be a bomb or a bullet or a pen
Or a thought or a word or a sentence
There ain't no reason things are this way
It's how they' always been and they intend to stay
I don't know why I say the things I say
But I say them anyway
But love will come set me [Dm]free [Bb] [C]
Love will come set me f[Dm]ree, [Bb]I do [C]believe
Love will come set me f[Dm]ree, [Bb]I know it [C]will
Love will come set me f[Dm]ree, [Bb]yes [C]
Prison [Bb]walls still standin' [F]tall
[C] [Dm]
Some things never change at all
Keep[C] on buildin' [Bb]prisons, gonna fill them [F]all
Keep on buildin' [C]bombs, gonna drop them all
Workin' your [Bb]fingers bare to the [F]bones
Breakin' your [C]back, make you sell your [Dm]soul
Lik[C]e a [Bb]lung that's filled with [F]coal
Suffocatin' [C]slow
The wind blows wild and I may move
But politicians lie and I am not fooled
You don't need no reason or a three-piece suit
To argue the truth
The air on my skin and world under my toes
Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes
Chaos and commotion wherever I go
Love I try to follow
But love will come set me [Dm]free [Bb] [C]
Love will come set me f[Dm]ree, [Bb]I do [C]believe
Love will come set me f[Dm]ree, [Bb]I know it w[C]ill
Love will come set me f[Dm]ree, [Bb]yes [C]
There ain't no reason things are this way
It's how they' always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way
We do it every day
