Lucy Kaplansky - One Good Reason
CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: C
Woke up scared in the middle of the night
G
He reached for the bottle and turned on the light
Am C
Looked at the clock, "This can't be right
I'm not dreaming"
Turned on the TV and the radio
G
Elvis rocked and Elvis rolled
Am
While Jesus on his radio show
C
Said, "Pack your bags, we're leaving"
CHORUS:
Am C F
There's a line I've crossed somewhere
Am
I left the best of me back there
C F
Never thought I'd end up here
Am
Guess all the best things disappear
C
Whiskey is his water and it's made in hell
G
From the bottom of his barrel to the bottom of his well
Am C
Nothing in this room but an empty shell
He's not dreaming
A drunkard's regrets are a dime a dozen
G
A thousand cures and a thousand poisons
Am C
Even Elvis couldn't find one good reason
To keep believing
CHORUS:
Am C F
There's a line I've crossed somewhere
Am
I left the best of me back there
C F
I never thought I'd end up here
Am
Guess all the best things disappear
INSTRUMENTAL: G Am (4x)
C
Guess she thought she had nothing to lose
G
When she told him he had to choose
Am C
Nice idea, but they both knew
That she'd be leaving
Well, Jesus said, "Seek and you shall find"
G
He doesn't think it's true this time
Am
Some things you look for, you never find
C
Like one good reason
CHORUS:
Am C F
There's a line I've crossed somewhere
Am
I left the best of me back there
C F
Never thought I'd end up here
Am
Guess all the best things disappear
C F
Never thought I'd end up here
Am
Guess all the best things disappear
