[C]
[G] Curtis Wright and I wrote this song.
Marty couldn't be in on it because it was about me.
[A] [E] You're going to play with the mantle though.
Oh, I'm so happy.
I [A] think we need to get the wheelchair [N] community started.
[D] Hello!
[A]
[G] I hope you work out as good as Alex.
We've been married 14 years [Gm] now.
Yeah!
[N]
[Cm] You wouldn't reckon everything [E] got better.
[N] [E]
I'm going to be like getting another [Eb] 14 and seeing [G] what works out.
This is a song that Curtis Wright and I wrote.
I love this song and it really [A] is a true story.
[Am] [Em] It's called Looking For a Reason.
[G]
I thought you [C] and I would be [G] friends forever.
And friends were all that we would ever be.
I [D] felt safe enough to share [G] my heart with you.
And [A] now you want to share your [D] life with me.
[G] If I had thought [C] that this would ever [G] happen,
[Am] I [G] never would have looked into your [Am] eyes.
[G] [C] Before I give answer to [G] your question,
[C] There's one thing [D]
that you must [G] realize.
[C] I'm looking for a reason not [G] to love you.
[C] Trying hard to find a [G] place to hide.
[D] Running in the opposite [G] direction.
[A] Determined not [Em] to [Db] let your love [G] [Em] inside.
[D] [Am] [G] Doing all [C] I can to [G] convince me.
[Am] [G] Keeping [C] my own heart out [G] of the way.
[Am] [G] [C] Looking for a reason [G] not to love
[D] [Em] you.
[C] While I [Em] keep [D] falling deeper [G] every day.
[C]
[G]
[Em]
[Am] [D] [G]
I just couldn't take another heartbreak.
That's [C] why I'm afraid to feel the way [G] I feel.
[C] Promise me next time would be [G] the last time.
So [Am] promise me [D] this time that it's [G] for real.
[Em] How [C] can [G]
I love you?
[C] Trying [G]
[Em] [D]
hard in the opposite [G]
direction.
[A]
Determined not to let your love [D]
[Em] inside.
[D] [Am] [G]
Doing all [C] I can [G] to convince me.
[C]
Keeping my own heart out [G] of the way.
[C]
Looking for a reason not [G] to love [Em] you.
While [Am] I keep [D] falling deeper [G] every day.
I got [C]
a reason [G] not to love [Bm] you.
[Em]
But [Am] I keep falling [D]
deeper every [G]
day.
[Bb] [Am] Please.
[G]
