[Verse 1]
G                             C                    Dmaj9(11)
I don’t know why you can’t buy wine ’round here on Sunday
G                                  C                             Dmaj9(11)
Or an ice-cold beer at a college football game
G                                           C                                           Dmaj9(11)
I don’t know why at eighteen, mama gave me a curfew
G                                                         C                             Dmaj9(11)
But it was, “Son, you’re under my roof, then you’re under my rules”

[Pre-Chorus]
Am               G/B                             C
I guess it’s all a part of a bigger plan
Am                         G/B                             C
But some of them I’ll never understand

[Chorus]
G                             C                             D
But they got their reasons, just like you
G                                           C                             D
When you walked out of my life when you didn’t have to
G                                           C                             D
You send me reelin’, there’s nothin’ I can do
G                             C                             D
About you takin’ my heart and breakin’ it right in two
Am               G/B               C               C               G/B
So if you see me soakin’ in these thoughts I’m thinkin’
Am                                                         G/B C
Drownin’ in some barroom off the deep end
G
I got my reasons

[Verse 2]
G C Dmaj9(11)
I don’t know why them uptown guys sittin’ three seats from me
G C Dmaj9(11)
Are raisin’ ’em up just as fast as they can put ’em down
G C Dmaj9(11)
Or why that old timer wants the Yankees on the TV
G C Dmaj9(11)
And the barkeep keeps buyin’ that one girl free rounds

[Chorus]
G C D
But they got their reasons, just like you
G C D
When you walked out of my life when you didn’t have to
G C D
You send me reelin’, there’s nothin’ I can do
G C D
About you takin’ my heart and breakin’ it right in two
Am G/B C C G/B
So if you see me soakin’ in these thoughts I’m thinkin’
Am G/B C
Drownin’ in some barroom off the deep end
G C D
I got my reasons

[Bridge]
Am G/B
Some are good and some are bad
C G/B
Some are true and some are sad
Am G/B C
Everyone’s got some but I need one
D
That brings you back

[Chorus]
G C D
We all got our reasons, just like you
G C D
When you walked out of my life and you didn’t have to
G C D
You send me reelin’, there’s nothin’ I can do
G C D
About you takin’ my heart and breakin’ it right in two
Am G/B C C G/B
So if you see me soakin’ in these thoughts I’m thinkin’
Am G/B C
Drownin’ in some barroom off the deep end
G
I got my reasons

[Outro]
G C D
Woah, I got my reasons
G C D
Yeah, I got my reasons
