REASONS WHY
by Nickel Creek (Sean Watkins and David Puckett)
charted by Bo Frazer
with help from Larry Dean
NOTE: capo on fret 1
----------------------------------------------------------
Intro = verse 1st half
Verse 1:
Where am I today? I wish that I knew, 
'Cause looking around there's no sign of you.  
I don't remember one jump or one leap,
Em D A C (D)
Just quiet steps away from your lead.
Verse 2:
I'm holding my heart out but clutching it too, 
Feeling this sort of a love that we once knew.  
I'm calling this home when it's not even close,
Em D A C (D)
Playing the role with nerves left exposed.
Chorus 1:
Standing on a darkened stage, stumbling through the lines. 
Others have excuses, but I have my reasons why.
Verse 3:
We get distracted by dreams of our own, 
But nobody's happy while feeling alone,  
And knowing how hard it hurts when we fall,
Em D A C (D)
We lean another ladder against the wrong wall.
Chorus 2:
And climb high to the highest rung, to shake fists at the sky.
While others have excuses, I have my reasons why.
Bridge:
With so much deception it's hard not to wander away,
It's hard not to wander away,
It's hard not to wander away.
