Travis: Reason
Written by: Susie Hug
From “More Than Us” B-side (1998)
Standard Tuning
Tempo: 50 (4/4)
Intro: D-D-; pause
Verse 1:
Some people never learn
Keep taking every turn
Way too fast
D (pause)
Thinking nothing ever lasts
Verse 2:
Descending oh so sweet
Keep playing in my sleep
As I awake
I never can recall a thing
Chorus:
And the reason being
Gives reason to everything
And this charmed life
D (pause)
That we lead
Verse 3:
Something is crying out
Through voices in my tears
Hear the voice crying out
In the strangest memories
Verse 4:
Nevermind, it's only namida
Namida mo koe mo
Okashii omoide
Chorus:
And the reason being
Gives reason to everything
And this charmed life
That we lead
Bridge:
Sorry to disappoint you
I never said i could tell
Right from wrong
So don't put your faith on me now
I'll leave you in suspension
G (single strum then pause)
Till you---- fall
Interlude: (play verse chords)
Chorus:
And the reason being
Gives reason to everything
And this short life
That we lead
And the reason being
G (end)
Gives reason to everything
PS: Translation of Japanese verse:
It's only NAMIDA,
NAMIDA MO KOE MO,
(It's only tears,
both tears and voices
in the strangest memories)
(This Japanese verse is quite similar to the preceding verse)
