    Your reason for living's your reason for leaving,

       F            G     Em        F

    don't ask me what it means.

                            F                      G                     Em        F

    (Who got the look ?) I don't know the answer to that question,

                           F                G               Em         - F

    (Where's the look?) If I knew I would tell you.

                         F                        G           Em       - F

    (What's the look?) Look for your information,

                   F                    G                  Em            F

    it's this one thing, the one thing that still holds true (What's that?)

3. If you judge a book by the cover,

       F                        G              Em      - F

    then you judge a look by the lover.

                                   F                              G                    - Am

    they say, 'Martin, maybe one day you'll find true love.

                F                 - G - Am

    And I  say, 'maybe'                 there must be a solution

                F                    G           - Am
