Chords

From the album "Long Player Late Bloomer" (2011) [Intro] E A (x4) [Verse 1]
           E
As all the rooms are full of empties

    A
The wine attempts to tempt me

E                 A
Would you help me disappear

          E
And we'll let the path go hungry

    A
And head at last to country

E               A
Or a small town away from here
[Chorus]
F#m
Maybe there we'll finally

D                       C#m
See there is no need to try

G#7     A
All our lives

             E   A (x2)
For a reason why
[Verse 2]
                E
'Cause when the moon is glowing dimly

 A
Upon our hopeful chimney

E              A
Trouble simply reappears

   E
To throw a monkey wrench in

    A
And hold the world's attention

E              A
With a show of surreal fear
[Chorus]
F#m
Hoping for an answer

  D                        C#m
I glance up to indifferent skies

        G#7  A
There's no reply

            E   A
Or a reason why

       E   A
Reason why
[Bridge]
             D         A         E
All we would hear is a deafening silence

          D        A         E
Hollywood tears in frivolous times

   D          G#7  A
Oh to be near your love
[Solo] E A (x4) [Verse 3]
        E
You can wonder where the time went

   A
Or what it was it all meant

E                      A
It's been a life spent wondering why
[Chorus]
F#m
Looking for a name

   D                       C#m
Or coat to pin the blame on

    G#7  A
I'm done sighing

             E   A
For a reason why

       E   A
Reason why

       E   A
Reason why

       E   A
Reason why
[Outro]
             D         A         E      G#7  A  D  E
All we would hear is a deafening silence
