If I Had A Reason

E  G#m  C#m  F#m  E  C#m  B E

[Verse 1]
E          B          C#m       
If I had a reason I'd tell you 
        F#m
what it is
     E               A    F#m
Must I explain how I feel
     E              G#m      C#m 
I've tried and I've tried to make
         F#m
 it so clear
     E              C#m    B E
But my time is just wasted I fear

[Verse 2]
E                 B               
Well it's only an old song but it 
 C#m                F#m
serves it's purpose well
       E                       A  
By the cry in your voice I can 
  F#m
tell
         E              G#m     
When you sing there's a feeling 
C#m        F#m
behind the words
     E         C#m   B  E
That brings it all back again

[Bridge]
E   B                             
I'm reaching, I'm reaching, while 
G#m        B
you slip away
B
I'm searching for words I can say
                              G#m  
I'm listening, I'm listening, 
          B
tryin' not to hear

You say that we might meet some day

[Verse 3]
B         E               B      
There's a picture that's faded 
  C#m               F#m
and curling from it's frame
     E                F#m G#m A F#m
Of a face that smiles patiently
   E           G#m        C#m    
It might smile forever to make me
        F#m
 feel better
    E      C#m    B   E
But I just might wait to see

[Bridge]
E   B                             
I'm reaching, I'm reaching, while 
G#m        B
you slip away
B
I'm searching for words I can say
                              G#m  
I'm listening, I'm listening, 
          B
tryin' not to hear
                                C#m
You say that we might meet some day

[Verse 4]
B       E                         
There's answers to questions that 
C#m             F#m
we both wanna know
          E                    A   
But those answers keep evading me
F#m

        E                  G#m    
There's rhymes and there's 
          C#m                F#m
reasons, there's rights and there's 
wrongs
    E          C#m     B  E
For being what you are to me

[Verse 5]
E            B                   
If I had a a reason I'd tell you 
        F#m
what it is
          E                 F#m 
Would you do the same thing for 
G#m A  F#m
 me?
           E          G#m        
"Cause the minute you go there's 
C#m             F#m
one thing I know
         E             C#m     B  
That the day will mean nothing for 
 E
me
