[Intro]
G C G C

[Verse]
G                                                              C
Don’t know why you can’t buy wine around here on Sundays
G                                                                         C
Or an ice cold beer at a College Football Game
G                                                       C
I don’t know why at 18 mom gave me a curfew
G                                                                         C
But it was follow my rules if you’re staying under my roof
Am                                                   C
I guess it’s all a part of a bigger plan
Am                                                       C
It’s something that I’ll never understand

[Chorus]
G                                                                   C
But they got their reasons, just like you
G                                                                                         C
When you walked out of my life when you didn’t have to
G                                                                   C
Sent me reeling, there’s nothing I can do
G                                                                 C
Why’d you take my heart and break it right in two
Am                                                                   C
So if you see me soaking in these thoughts I’m thinking
Am                                             C
Drowning in some bar room off the deep end
G                       C
I got my reasons

[Verse]
G                                                                                         C
Don’t know why them uptown guys sit three seats from me
G                                                                   C
They’re picking them up just as fast as they can put em down
G                                                                                         C
Or why them old timers watch the Yankees on the TV
G                                                                           C
And the bar keep keeps buying that one girl free rounds

[Chorus]
G                                             C
But they got their reasons, just like you
G                                                                                         C
When you walked out of my life when you didn’t have to
G                                                                   C
Sent me reeling, there’s nothing I can do
G                                             C
But you take my heart and break it right in two
Am                                                                                         C
So if you see me soaking in these thoughts I’m thinking
Am                                                                   C
Drowning in some bar room off the deep end
G
I got my reasons

[Bridge]
Am                                             C
Well I guess it’s all a part of a bigger plan
Am                                                                   C
Something that I’ll never understand

[Chorus]
G                                                                   C
But they got their reasons, just like you
G                                                                   C
When you walked out of my life when you didn’t have to
G                                                                   C
Sent me reeling, there’s nothing I can do
G                                                                                         C
Why’d you take my heart and break it right in two
Am                                                                   C
So if you see me soaking in these thoughts I’m thinking
Am                                                                        C
Drowning in some bar room off the deep end
G                       C
I got my reasons
G                                             C
Whoa I got my reasons
