Ain't No Reason Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 There ain't no A♯reason things are this Fway

 It's how they' always Cbeen and they intend to Dmstay

 I cCan't A♯explain why we live this Fway

 We do it every Cday

 Preachers on the A♯podium speakin' of Fsaints

 Prophets on the Csidewalk beggin' for Dmchange

 Old Cladies A♯laughin' from the fire Fescape

 Cursin' my Cname

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 Dmfree A♯ C

 Love will come set me fDmree, A♯I do Cbelieve

 Love will come set me fDmree, A♯I know it Cwill

 Love will come set me fDmree, A♯yes C

 Prison A♯walls still standin' Ftall

 Some Cthings never change at Dmall

 KeepC on buildin' A♯prisons, gonna fill them Fall

 Keep on buildin' Cbombs, gonna drop them all

 Workin' your A♯fingers bare to the Fbones

 Breakin' your Cback, make you sell your Dmsoul

 LikCe a A♯lung that's filled with Fcoal

 Suffocatin' Cslow

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 Dmfree A♯ C

 Love will come set me fDmree, A♯I do Cbelieve

 Love will come set me fDmree, A♯I know it wCill

 Love will come set me fDmree, A♯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
