Looking for a reason (1972)     (video)

    G - G7 - C - A7 - C - D - G

        G                                 C

I'm lookin' for a reason to stay,

       D                                                  G    - D

I'm all wound up and tied in knots today.

       G                                      C

I'm lookin' for a reason not to go,

                   D                                           G

when the morning comes, I'll be on my way.

     G                                      D

1. Ev'ry night I ask myself again

               C                      D                           G

just what it was that made our dream begin.

          G                                                     C     - A7

    It seemed like a good idea way back then.

                   D                                                        G    - D

but I'm wond'rin' now what daydream took me in.

+  CHORUS

+  C - G - C - D - G

      G                                             D

2. Yesterday I tried once more to find

          C                         D                    G

a way to share the trouble on my mind.

         G                                              C     - A7

    It seems like you turn away ev'ry time.

                    D                                               G  - E7

    I used to like it here, I can't remember why.

       A                                   D

I'm lookin' for a reason to stay,

       E                                                  A     - E

I'm all wound up and tied in knots today.

       A                                       D

I'm lookin' for a reason not to go.

                   E                                            A      - F#

when the morning comes, I'll be on my way.

       B                                   E

I'm lookin' for a reason to stay.

      F#                                                  B

I'm all wound up and tied in knots today .
