Chords

[Intro] E [Verse 1]
       A
I have spent my time in goin'

      C#m
Never carin', never knowin'

     A                            E
Just what it was I might be goin' to

      A
And I planned on leavin' you the same

     C#m
Just up and go the way I came

    A                    F#                  B
But you may have noticed I'm still here with you
[Chorus]
N.C.         A         C#m
Yes, there's one sweet reason

           E             C#m
Why you're yet to see me leavin'

     A                          E
Just one thing between here and gone

         A
And it's wrapped up in your smile
And a pair of blue green eyes
                 F#                       B
And a touch that warms me like the fire's glow

    E                   A
Any number of a hundred things

      C#m               F#m
Would send me down that road

            A         B              E
But there's one sweet reason I don't go
[Verse 2]
     A
I've run from ties, I've cut my strings

     C#m
I've unlocked doors, I've broken chains

       A                    E
Fading like a shadow in the dawn

     A
When other loves have turned to clay

     C#m
I've turned my back and walked away

    A                 F#              B
And you should be the next to find me gone
[Chorus]
N.C.        A         C#m
But there's one sweet reason

           E             C#m
Why you're yet to see me leavin'

     A                          E
Just one thing between here and gone

         A
And it's wrapped up in your smile
And a pair of blue green eyes
                 F#                       B
And a touch that warms me like the fire's glow

    E                   A
Any number of a hundred things

      C#m               F#m
Would send me down that road

            A         B              E
But there's one sweet reason I don't go
[Verse 3]
      A
Now I find no need in goin'

         C#m
From the sweet love I've been knowin'

       A                                  E
To the restless ways and days that I once knew

    A
For more and more I've looked to find

     C#m
When leavin' creeps across my mind

     A               F#                   B
It's lost in all the days I've spent with you
[Chorus]
N.C.         A         C#m
Yes, there's one sweet reason

           E             C#m
Why you're yet to see me leavin'

     A                          E
Just one thing between here and gone

         A
And it's wrapped up in your smile
And a pair of blue green eyes
                 F#                       B
And a touch that warms me like the fire's glow

    E                   A
Any number of a hundred things

      C#m               F#m
Would send me down that road

            A         B              E
But there's one sweet reason I don't go
[Outro]
           A         B              E
You're the one sweet reason I don't go
