If You Need A Reason Mason Jennings
I think that the other version of this song is way too complicated. So here's the same
but way simpler to understand.
Mason plays everything tuned a 1/2 step lower. I have too many x chromosomes so I play
in regular tuning with a capo on the third fret. Do what works for you.
Mason fingerpicks the whole song. But then again, he has a bass and drummer to back him
I tend to strum it out.
[C]Got so lost that I went to church
[G]Sorry God but you made it worse
[C]Made me sit [F]behind a fence
[C]Haunted by t[F]he evidence
[C]I guess you don?t want me to think
[G]So instead I?ll dream and drink
[C]Got too drunk [F]to drive home
[C]In the cab [F]I grabbed my phone
[C]And made a call I might regret
[G]To a girl that I just met
[C]Lately things[F] are not okay
[C]I just wanted to he[F]ar somebody say
[C]If you need a reason a[G]s to why you?re here
[am]You don?t need to look farther than [F]me
[C]If you need a reason a[G]s to why you?re here
[am]You don?t need to look farther than [F]me
[C]Lovely, lovely quiet lake
[G]How could this be a mistake
[C]Too dark now t[F]o see your face
[C]Your hair is blowing all[F] over the place
[C]The moon is caught in a frozen glass
[G]I could not let this moment pass
[C]The sun is waitin[F]g far away
[C]Until i?ve had [F]a chance to say
[C]All that?s missing, all that?s lost
[G]Every hope at any cost
[C]Every dream too g[F]ood to come true
[C]Floods my heart [F]when I?m with you
[C]If you need a reason a[G]s to why you?re here
[am]You don?t need to look farther than [F]me
[C]If you need a reason a[G]s to why you?re here

Try putting a capo on the first fret - brings it nicely into tune. CHeers!
