        Ba ba da ba x2


[Verse]
C                 E              
Beauty queens and libertines and 
Am
beggars on their benches
     C               E            
They go to sleep and dream like 
     Am
you and I
C                         E      
Billionaires behind their walls 
   Am
and soldiers in their trenches
      C                E          
We're all just looking for a 
  Am
reason why

[Pre-Chorus]
              C          E       
To get out of bed in the morning 
Am
(Ahh)
                 C            E
To fight off the urge to just go 
          Am
call it quits
               C          E      
'Cuz sometimes reality is boring 
Am
(Ahh)
           C               E      
And it's a shame, but it's just 
     Am
how it is

[Chorus]
C     E           Am
Everybody's gotta live (yes, they 
do)
C         E           Am
And everybody's gonna die (die die)
C     E                  Am
Everybody try to have a, a good time
C           E               Am*
I think you know the reason why

[Verse]
   C                E             
So pour a drink, or have a smoke, 
    Am
cuz we all got our vices
     C             E              Am
Just doing what we need to to get by
C                  E         
Wear a dress, your Sunday best, 
       Am
whatever you feel nice in
    C                E             
Cuz God knows we all need a reason 
Am
why

[Pre-Chorus]
              C          E       
To get out of bed in the morning 
Am
(Ahh)
                 C            E
To fight off the urge to just go 
          Am
call it quits
               C          E      
'Cuz sometimes reality is boring 
Am
(Ahh)
           C               E      
And it's a shame, but it's just 
     Am

[Chorus]
C     E           Am
Everybody's gotta live (yes, they 
do)
C         E           Am
And everybody's gonna die (die die)
C     E                  Am
Everybody try to have a, a good time
C           E               Am*
I think you know the reason why

[Verse]
C             E                
Taxi cars and prison bars, and 
Am
history repeating
   C                E              
We build our little boxes, you and 
Am
I
   C                   E       
So cross your heart or read your 
             Am
cards, whatever you believe in
     C                E           
'Cuz God knows we all need a 
  Am
reason why

[Pre-Chorus]
              C          E       Am
To get out of bed in the morning
                 C            E
To fight off the urge to just go 
          Am
call it quits
               C          E      Am
'Cuz sometimes reality is boring
           C               E      
And it's a shame, but it's just 
     Am

              C          E     
To get out of bed in the morning 
                    Am
(Everybody's gotta live)
                 C            E
To fight off the urge to just go

And it's a shame, but it's just how 
it is
