Ain't No Reason
By Brett Dennen
Bb Dm
There ain't no reason things are this way
Bb Dm C
It's how they've always been and they intend to stay
Bb Dm
I can't explain why we live this way
C
We do it everyday
Bb Dm
Preachers on the podium speaking the saints
Bb Dm C
Prophets on the sidewalk begging for change
Bb Dm
Old ladies laugh from the fire escape
C
Cursing my name
Bb Dm
I got a basket full of lemons and they always taste the same
Bb Dm C
A window and a pidgen with a broken wing
Bb Dm
You could spend you whole life working for something
C
Just to have it taken away
Bb Dm
People walk around pushing back their desks
Bb Dm C
Wearing paychecks like necklaces and bracelets
Bb Dm
Talking about nothing, not thinking about death
C Dm (no bottom E string) C
Every little heartbeat every little breath
Bb Dm
People walk a tight rope on a razor's edge
Bb Dm C
Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons
Bb Dm
It could be a bomb, or a bullet or a pin
C
Or a thought, or a word, or a sentence
Bb Dm
There ain't no reason things are this way
Bb Dm C
It's how they've always been and they intend to stay
Bb Dm
I dont't know why i say the things i say
C
But i say them anyway
Dm Bb C
Love will come set me free
Dm Bb C
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Dm Bb C
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Dm Bb C
Love will come set me free
Bb Dm
Prison walls still standing tall
Bb Dm C
Some things never change at all
Bb Dm
Keep on building prisons gonna fill them all
C Dm (no bottom E string) C
Keep on building bombs gonna drop them all
Bb Dm
Working your fingers bare to the bone
Bb Dm C
Breaking your back to make yourself useful
Bb Dm
Laugh along, it's filled with cold
C
Suffocating slow
Bb Dm
The wind blows wild and i may move
Bb Dm C
But politicians lie and i am not fooled
Bb Dm
You don’t need no reason nor a three-piece suit
C
To argue the truth
Bb Dm
The air on my skin, and the world under my toes
Bb Dm C
Slavery stitched in to the fabric of my clothes
Bb Dm
Chaos and commotion wherever i go
C
Love i try to follow
Dm Bb C
Love will come set me free
Dm Bb C
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Dm Bb C
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Dm Bb C
Love will come set me free
Bb Dm
There ain't no reason things are this way
Bb Dm C
It's how they've always been and they intend to stay
Bb Dm
I can't explain why we live this way
C
We do it everyday
