But if you don't wanna do that play C G C

[Verse]
C G7 C
A little girl sinks in the deep end and looks up towards the sky
F C
Into a little blue world of legs and her feet that look like they're in flight
Chord 1 C
And a slow motion dance while the water expands the sun's refracted light
Dm Am G
She just has to pretend she can hear the music

C G7 C
When she starts crying in her goggles the scene becomes unclear
F C
She keeps peering into this underworld through the filter of her tears
Chord 1 C
Which let her keep hold of the moment as if it was a souvenir
Dm Am G Chord 3 G
She just has to pretend she knows how to use it

[Chorus]
F Am Dm
Maybe it's a cold dark truth that makes her cry
F Am Dm
Maybe it's a ancient past life memory recalled
F Am Dm
Maybe it's a chemical that got into her eye
C Chord 2 Am
Maybe it's for no good reason at all
Riff C
Maybe it's for no good reason at all

[Verse]
C G7 C
His wife asked how were things at work today as Bill walked through the door
F C
He put his coat on the chair, his keys on the table, and his eyes down on the floor
Chord 1 C
And he tightened his jaw and he thought how the cause and effects weren't clear anymore
Dm Am G
Figuring out how to say what's wrong

C G7 C
He said I know that I'll be leaving you that's all I really know
F C
But I wish I could tell what exactly compels me to turn my steps and go
Chord 1 C
Because there's so much love that you've given me there's so much love that I owe.
Dm Am G Chord 3 G
It's with myself that I can't seem to get along

[Chorus]
F Am Dm
Maybe he just felt the hungry hand of fate
F Am Dm
Maybe he won't rest until he sees it fall
F Am Dm
Maybe it's a mood that he's in just for the day
C Chord 2 Am
Maybe it's for no good reason at all
Riff C
Maybe it's for no good reason at all

[Verse]
C G7 C
An actor was found dead today in his Culver City home
F C
And with no evidence of foul play it seemed he acted on his own
Chord 1 C
The position of his body looked like he was reaching for the phone
Dm Am G Chord 3 G
Makes you wonder who he was gonna call

[Chorus]
F Am Dm
Maybe all his demons were settling their debts
F Am Dm
Maybe all the pressure finally drove him to the wall
F Am Dm
Maybe there were secrets that he needed to protect
C Chord 2 Am
Maybe it's for no good reason at all
Riff
Maybe it's for no good reason
Riffy
No good reason
Riff it up C
No good reason at all
