[D][F#m][Bm][Em][D][Bm][A][D]

[Verse 1]
If [D]I had a
[A]reason I'd [Bm]tell you what it [E]is
Must [D]I explain h[Em]ow I[F#m] feel[G][E]
I've [D]tried and I've [F#m]tried
to [Bm]make it so [Em]clear
But [D]my time is just [Bm]wasted [A]I f[D]ear
Well it's only an [A]old song but it
[Bm]serves it's purpose [E]so well
By the [D]cry in your voice
[Em]I ca[F#m]n tell[G][E]
When [D]you sing there's [F#m]a feeling
[Bm]behind the word[Em]s
That [D]brings it [Bm]all b[A]ack [D]again

[Verse 2]
I'm [A]reaching, I'm reaching,
while [F#m]you sl[A]ip away
I'm searching for words I can say
I'm listening, I'm listening,
[F#m]tryin' not to [A]hear
You say that we might meet
[G]some day
[Bm]

[Verse 3]
[A]
There's a [D]picture that's [A]faded
and [Bm]curling from it's [E]frame
Of a [D]face that smiles [Em]pa t[F#m]iently
[G]It [E]might [D]smile foreve[F#m]r to
[Bm]make me feel [Em]better
But [D]I just m[Bm]ight wait to see

[Verse 4]
Oh I'm [A]reaching,
I'm [G]reach[A]ing while [F#m]you slip aw[A]ay
I'm searching for [G]words [A]I can't say
I'm listening,
I'm listen[G]ing [A]try[F#m]in' not to hea[A]r
You say that we might meet
[G]some [Bm]day

[Verse 5]
[A]There's [D]answers to ques[A]tions
[Bm]that we both wanna [E]know
But those [D]answers keep evad
[Em]ing [F#m]me[G][E]
There's [D]rhymes and [F#m]there's reasons,
there's [Bm]rights and there's [Em]wrongs
For [D]being what [Bm]you are t[A]o [D]me

[Verse 6]
If [D]I had a a r[A]eason I'd
[Bm]tell you what [E]it is
Would you [D]do the same
[Em]thing for [G]me?[E]
"Cause the [D]minute you [F#m]go
there's [Bm]one thing I [Em]know
That the [D]day will mean [Bm]nothing [A]for me[D]
