The Reason
Jason Michael Carroll


[Intro]
Em   Cadd9   G   D Dsus2 D
Em   Cadd9   G   D


[Verse]
Em                       Cadd9
She was as bright as the sun
                 G         D Dsus2 D
Nothin' short of perfect
Em                     Cadd9
She waited tables at a diner
          D Dsus2 D Dsus2
Off route 21
C
She showed him more love than he knew
                 G
One person could give
C                   G
She was the reason
               D Dsus2 D
That he had to live


[Chorus]
                        C
Now she's the reason he drinks
                    G
She's the reason he smokes
                      Cadd9
She's the reason that he does not wanna find
G              D Dsus2 D
Anyone else to hold
                        Em
She set the standard so high
Cadd9                       G        C
That no one else could come close
                        G       D
Now she's the reason he drinks
                    G     D Dsus2 D
She's the reason he smokes


[Verse]
Em                     Cadd9
He talks about her sometimes
                G    D Dsus2 D
When he's had a few
    Em                         Cadd9
And closes his eyes and swears he
                    D Dsus2 D Dsus2
Can still smell her perfume
Cadd9
He takes a drag and watches
             G
As the smoke disappears
               C                        Em
It's like he's hopin' that drinkin' and smokin'
                  D Dsus2 D
Will cut down his years


[Chorus]
                        C
Now she's the reason he drinks
                    G
She's the reason he smokes
                      Cadd9
She's the reason that he does not wanna find
G              D Dsus2 D
Anyone else to hold
                        Em
She set the standard so high
Cadd9                       G        C
That no one else could come close
                        G       D
Now she's the reason he drinks
                    G
She's the reason he smokes


[Bridge]
Em   Cadd9   G   D Dsus2 D
Em   Cadd9   D Dsus2 D


[Chorus]
                        C
Now she's the reason he drinks
                    G
She's the reason he smokes
                      C
She's the reason that he does not wanna find
G              D Dsus2 D Dsus2
Anyone else to hold
                        Em
She set the standard so high
Cadd9                       G      C
That no one else could come close
                        G      D
Now she's the reason he drinks
                    Em       C
She's the reason he smokes
                        G       D
Now she's the reason he drinks
                    G
She's the reason he smokes
