Verse 1:
 
            D
Some people never learn
            D
Keep taking every turn 
        A7
Way too fast 
         D                  (pause)
Thinking nothing ever lasts
 
Verse 2:
           D
Descending oh so sweet
             D
Keep playing in my sleep 
      A7
As I awake 
        D
I never can recall a thing
 
 
Chorus:
         A7
And the reason being 
       G
Gives reason to everything 
    D             A7
And this charmed life 
         D  (pause)
That we lead
 
Verse 3:
             D
Something is crying out
               D
Through voices in my tears 
         A7
Hear the voice crying out 
        D
In the strangest memories 
 
Verse 4:
D                    D
Nevermind, it's only namida 
    A7
Namida mo koe mo 
    D
Okashii omoide 
 
Chorus:
 
         A7
And the reason being 
        G
Gives reason to everything 
    D             A7
And this charmed life 
        D
That we lead
 
 
Bridge:
 
A7
   Sorry to disappoint you 
                     D
I never said i could tell 
Right from wrong
   D                          A7
So don't put your faith on me now 
I'll leave you in suspension
           G (single strum then pause)
Till you----    fall
 
Interlude: (play verse chords)
 
Chorus:
 
         A7
And the reason being
       G
Gives reason to everything
     D          A7
And this short life
         D
That we lead 
             A7
And the reason being
       G                  (end)
Gives reason to everything
 
 
PS: Translation of Japanese verse:
 
It's only NAMIDA,
NAMIDA MO KOE MO,
OKASHI OMOIDE
 
(It's only tears,
both tears and voices
in the sweetest memories)
 
(This Japanese verse is quite similar to the preceding verse)
