Key:
Ebm I was lying on the floor of the playground
Gb You were chasing off a kid with a greyhound
Db Bb I remember thinking you're the coolest girl I know [Verse 2]
Ebm You were swinging from the ceiling rafters
Gb It fell around you in a halo of plaster
Db Bb I don't go to hospitals---I let you go alone [Chorus]
B Db I had my reasons at the time
Ebm I had my reasons at the time
Gb Something in the state of mind
Db Gb Db Oh, everlasting light... [Verse 3]
Continues after the ad
Ebm Why's your father always calling me out, yeah?
Gb There's a saying in the English South:
Db Bb "You have to put your mind in gear before you drive your mouth." [Verse 4]
Ebm I got to thinking of legitimate work
Gb But they found the powder in the funeral hearse
Db Bb And oh! That blessed conjugal, I could not be alone [Chorus]
B Db I had my reasons at the time
Ebm I had my reasons at the time
Gb Something in the state of mind
B Db I had my reasons at the time
Ebm I had my reasons at the time
Gb Something in the state of mind
Db Gb Db Oh, everlasting light... [Interlude]
Ebm Gb Ebm Gb Db Gb Bb [Chorus]
B Db I had my reasons at the time
Ebm I had my reasons at the time
Gb Something in the state of mind
B Db I had my reasons at the time
Ebm I had my reasons at the time
Gb Something in the state of mind
Db Gb Db Oh, everlasting light...
