[Intro] C Am F C (x3) [Verse 1]
              C                         G7                    C
A little girl sinks in the deep end and looks up towards the sky 

       F                                           Am7
Into a little blue world of legs and her feet that look like they're in flight 

      Fm                                            C/G
And a slow motion dance while the water expands the sun's refracted light

         Dm             Am                 G
She just has to pretend she can hear the music
[Verse 2]
                C                         G7            C
When she starts crying in her goggles the scene becomes unclear

          F                                        Am7
She keeps peering into this underworld through the filter of her tears 

               Fm                               C/G                                   
Which let her keep hold of the moment as if it was a souvenir

         Dm       Am                          G     C/G   G
She just has to pretend she knows how to use it 
[Chorus]
             F         Am                   Dm
Maybe it's a cold dark truth that makes her cry 

             F         Am                   Dm
Maybe it's a ancient past life memory recalled

             F         Am               Dm
Maybe it's a chemical that got into her eye 

               C       Fm        F
Maybe it's for no good reason at all 

              Fm                C         
Maybe it's for no good reason at all 
[Link] C Am F C [Verse 3]
               C                               G7                       C
His wife asked how were things at work today as Bill walked through the door 

            F                                                Am7
He put his coat on the chair, his keys on the table, and his eyes down on the floor 

  Fm                                                      C/G  
And he tightened his jaw and he thought how the cause and effects weren't clear anymore

Dm           Am                G     
Figuring out how to say what's wrong 
[Verse 4]
   C                                    G7                  C
He said I know that I'll be leaving you that's all I really know 

      F                                            Am7
But I wish I could tell what exactly compels me to turn my steps and go

               Fm                                        C/G  
Because there's so much love that you've given me there's so much love that I owe.  

         Dm                  Am           G     C/G  G
It's with myself that I can't seem to get along 
[Chorus]
              F        Am             Dm
Maybe he just felt the hungry hand of fate 

               F    Am               Dm
Maybe he won't rest until he sees it fall 

             F              Am              Dm
Maybe it's a mood that he's in just for the day 

               C       Fm        F
Maybe it's for no good reason at all 

               Fm                C        
Maybe it's for no good reason at all

   C                                 G7          C
An actor was found dead today in his Culver City home 

            F                                  Am7
And with no evidence of foul play it seemed he acted on his own 

    Fm                                     C/G  
The position of his body looked like he was reaching for the phone

Dm               Am               G     C/G   G
Makes you wonder who he was gonna call 
[Chorus]
              F           Am             Dm
Maybe all his demons were settling their debts

              F               Am                Dm
Maybe all the pressure finally drove him to the wall

                 F              Am         Dm
Maybe there were secrets that he needed to protect 

               C       Fm        F
Maybe it's for no good reason at all

               Fm   
Maybe it's for no good reason

Fm   
No good reason 

Fm                C 
No good reason at all
