Hollies - If It Wasn't For The Reason That I Love You
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: F G (6x)
Dm7 G
Another day gone and I think of you
Dm7 G C Am C
Wonder where you're going, wonder what you do without me
Dm7 G
A telephone call from a friend I know
Dm7 G C Am C
Left me feeling bitter, left me feeling so unhappy
PRE-CHORUS:
F Fm
'Cause if you couldn't wait for twenty four hours
C
What good would telegrams and flowers do?
A7 A
Oooh, ooh, ooh
CHORUS:
Dm7 G
If it wasn't for the reason that I love you baby
Dm7 G C
I wouldn't have another thing to say to you
Dm7 G
Might as well stay for a day or two
Dm7 G C Am C
Find another friend and have a drink or two to pass the time
Dm7 G
Talking over troubles in a whiskey daze
Dm7 G C Am C
A little drop of cognac helps a man to face the lonely times
PRE-CHORUS:
F Fm
'Cause it's sad being home and I've given up trying
C
I've got no lying that I wanna do
A7 A
Oooh, ooh, ooh
CHORUS:
Dm7 G
If it wasn't for the reason that I love you baby
Dm7 G C
I wouldn't have another thing to say to you
INSTRUMENTAL: Dm7 G Dm7 G C (2x) G
BRIDGE:
Wish I could find a way
Work up the nerve to say
C
"You cheated and you lied
F
You took away the little pride I had inside"
D7 D
Oooh, ooh, ooh
CHORUS:
Dm7 G
If it wasn't for the reason that I love you baby
Dm7 G C Am C
I wouldn't have another thing to say to you
Dm7 G
Another day gone and I think of you
Dm7 G C Am C
Wonder where you're going, wonder what you do without me
Dm7 G
A telephone call from a friend I know
Dm7 G C Am C
Left me feeling bitter, left me feeling so unhappy
