Ain't No Reason Brett Dennen
Ain't No Reason
By Brett Dennen
There ain't no r[Bb]eason things are this [Dm]way
[Bb]It's how they've always been and they intend to stay[Dm] [C]
I can't ex[Bb]plain why we live this [Dm]way
We do it every[C]day
Preachers on the p[Bb]odium speaking the sa[Dm]ints
Prophets on the sid[Bb]ewalk begging for ch[Dm]ang[C]e
Old ladies l[Bb]augh from the fire esc[Dm]ape
Cursing my n[C]ame
I got a basket full of le[Bb]mons and they always taste the s[Dm]ame
A window and a pi[Bb]dgen with a broken wing[Dm] [C]
You could spend you wh[Bb]ole life working for some[Dm]thing
Just to have it taken a[C]way
People walk a[Bb]round pushing back their d[Dm]esks
Wearing pay[Bb]checks like necklaces and br[Dm]acelets[C]
Talking about not[Bb]hing, not thinking about d[Dm]eath
C Dm (no bottom E string) C
Every little heartbeat every little breath
People walk a t[Bb]ight rope on a razor's e[Dm]dge
Carrying their h[Bb]urt and hatred and weap[Dm]ons[C]
It could be a b[Bb]omb, or a bullet or a [Dm]pin
Or a thought, or a w[C]ord, or a sentence
There ain't no r[Bb]eason things are this [Dm]way
It's how they've always b[Bb]een and they intend to s[Dm]tay[C]
I dont't know [Bb]why i say the things i [Dm]say
But i say them any[C]way
Love will come set me f[Dm]ree[Bb] [C]
Love will come set me f[Dm]ree, [Bb]I do belie[C]ve
Love will come set me f[Dm]ree, [Bb]I know it [C]will
Love will come set me f[Dm]ree[Bb] [C]
Prison wa[Bb]lls still standing t[Dm]all
Some thin[Bb]gs never change at a[Dm]ll[C]
Keep on building pr[Bb]isons gonna fill them [Dm]all
C Dm (no bottom E string) C
Keep on building bombs gonna drop them all
Working your f[Bb]ingers bare to the b[Dm]one
Breaking your [Bb]back to make yourself [Dm]useful[C]
Laugh along, i[Bb]t's filled with c[Dm]old
Suffocating slo[C]w
The wind blows w[Bb]ild and i may m[Dm]ove
But politicians [Bb]lie and i am not fo[Dm]oled[C]
You don?t need n[Bb]o reason nor a three-piece s[Dm]uit
To argue the trut[C]h
The air on my s[Bb]kin, and the world under my [Dm]toes
Slavery stitche[Bb]d in to the fabric of my clo[Dm]thes[C]
Chaos and com[Bb]motion wherever i [Dm]go
Love i try to fo[C]llow
Love will come set me f[Dm]ree[Bb] [C]
Love will come set me f[Dm]ree, [Bb]I do belie[C]ve
Love will come set me f[Dm]ree, [Bb]I know it [C]will
Love will come set me f[Dm]ree[Bb] [C]
There ain't no r[Bb]eason things are this [Dm]way
It's how they've always b[Bb]een and they intend to s[Dm]tay[C]
I can't ex[Bb]plain why we live this [Dm]way
We do it ever[C]yday
