Capo: 3rd fret

[Chorus]
C
Give me the reason
Gadd11/B Am
Am I staying or leaving?
Am7/G F
Give me the reason to give it one more try
F Gadd11 G
Don’t wanna say goodbye

[Verse 1]
C Gadd11/B
Feels like yesterday
Am Am7/G
You and I, we were walking around New York City
F F Gadd11 G
Hand in hand, man, it was so pretty that day
C Gadd11/B
Standing on the corner in your favorite dress
Am Am7/G
I was trying to take our picture, my hair was such a mess
F
Oh, but we laughed so hard
F Gadd11 G
Then you broke my heart

[Pre-Chorus]
C
I can’t stand to see those tears in your eyes
Gadd11/B Am
We should be dancing like we did that night
Am7/G F
Give mе the reason to give it onе more shot
F Gadd11 G
And I’ll give it all that I got
C
Oh, I’d hate to lay that weight on your heart
Gadd11/B Am
After all that we did to everything that we are
Am7/G F
Give me the reason to give it one more try
F Gadd11 G
Don’t wanna say goodbye

[Chorus]
C
Give me the reason
Gadd11/B Am
Am I staying or leaving?
Am7/G F
Give me the reason to give it one more try
F Gadd11 G
Don’t wanna say goodbye

[Verse 2]
C Gadd11/B
‘Cause I’ve got nothing left
Am Am7/G
Without your foot on the drum that beats inside my chest
F
I feel like mirrors and smoke
F Gadd11 G
All of my words are broke, I wanna just throw me in the ocean
C
It’s not that I couldn’t see you were in pain
Gadd11/B Am
I wish we could talk, maybe no one’s to blame
Am7/G F
I still want you now, I still need you now
F Gadd11 G
I’m not fooling around

[Pre-Chorus]
C
I can’t stand to see those tears in your eyes
Gadd11/B Am
We should be dancing like we did that night
Am7/G F
Give mе the reason to give it onе more shot
F Gadd11 G
And I’ll give it all that I got
C
Oh, I’d hate to lay that weight on your heart
Gadd11/B Am
After all that we did to everything that we are
Am7/G F
Give me the reason to give it one more try
F Gadd11 G
Don’t wanna say goodbye

[Chorus]
C
Give me the reason
Gadd11/B Am
Am I staying or leaving?
Am7/G F
Give me the reason to give it one more try
F Gadd11 G
Don’t wanna say goodbye
