G                      Bm
Don't know how it got away from me
Em7                         A7
Don't know how I let things go, you see
G                         Bm
Don't know why it took a sudden turn
Em7                  A7
Didn't seem to be a big concern

G                 E7       D
And everything is all too much
Bm7                                   Em
Hot and bothered, you're cool to the touch
    G            E7      D
And everyone is worlds apart
   Bm7                               Em
It must have been this way from the start

Chorus:
Dmaj7                 E                G
When there's nothing here to save the day
 D              Em7
Then we have to say
A7         G6        D
There's a reason for it
When there's nothing left for us to do
You're left without a clue
There's a reason for it

Don't know how it got away from me
Don't know how I let things go, you see
Don't know why it took a sudden turn
Didn't seem to be a big concern

And everyone is all too well
All well-adjusted people, can't you tell?
And everything is all too fast
Just add water, nothing's built to last

Chorus

G                 E7     D
And everyone is worlds apart
   Bm7                              F#dim7 Em7
It must have been this way from the start

Chorus:
When there's nothing here to save the day
Then we have to say
There's a reason for it
When there's nothing left for us to do
You're left without a clue
There's a reason for it
When there's nothing here to save the day
Then we have to say
There's a reason for it
When there's nothing here to save the day
Then we have to say
There's a reason for it
There's a reason for it
There's a reason for it
There's a reason for it
