Intro: Ab Eb Bbm7 Db

Verse 1:
       Ab                     Eb
Took a sharp knife, more than once or twice
       Bbm7                   Db
To the heart of this, and you threatened it
    Ab              Eb
Metaphorically, accidentally
                   Bbm7       Db
You called me your everything
        Ab                  Eb
And the pressure, I have to emphasize
         Bbm7                   Db
Made our roof cave in, built by idiots
         Ab             Eb
Still so earnestly over carefully
          Bbm7               Db
Questions crept back into my head again

Chorus:
            Ab     Eb                  Bbm7
That's when I knew suddenly I would be leaving
    Db                   Ab
And neither of us saw it comin'
   Eb                Bbm7   Db
If only I had a good reason
            Ab      Eb                        Bbm7
That's when I knew, honestly, you would start bleeding
        Db                 Ab
Just to cover it up for my feelings
   Eb                Bbm7   Db
If only I had a good reason

Verse 2:
     Ab                       Eb
Am I thinking straight? Was I meant to stay?
           Bbm7              Db                        Ab
You're too nice to me when I tell you things you don't wanna hear
       Eb                  Bbm7
Like I spent the year over-promising
     Db
Over everything

Chorus:
            Ab      Eb                    Bbm7
That's when I knew, suddenly you would be grieving
    Db                    Ab
I'm only half sure that I mean it
   Eb                Bbm7   Db
If only I had a good reason
        Ab          Eb                     Bbm7
Oh, but I bet you'd probably sit there and take it
      Db                   Ab
Well, that only makes me regret it
   Eb                Bbm7   Db
If only I had a good reason

Bridge:
Ab         Eb
 If only I had a good reason
Bbm7          Db
   If only it wasn't bad timing
Ab         Eb
 If only I chose you and not me
Bbm7          Db
   If only we leaned into fighting
Ab           Eb
 If only you got disappointed
Bbm7         Db
   If only I kept every promise
Ab           Eb
 If only you treated me poorly
Bbm7           Db               Ab      Eb
   If only you didn't adore me (Ah, ah, ah)
Bbm7           Db
   If only you didn't adore me

Chorus:
Ab      Eb                  Bbm7
I knew, suddenly I would be leaving
    Db                   Ab
And neither of us saw it coming (Coming)
   Eb                Bbm7              Db
If only I had a good reason (If only I had a good reason)
            Ab
That's when I knew
      Eb                     Bbm7
You'd probably sit there and take it
      Db                   Ab
Well, that only makes me regret it
   Eb                Bbm7              Db
If only I had a good reason (If only I had a good reason)
   Ab
Ah-huh

Outro:
          Eb
If only I had a good reason
Bbm7         Db
   If only I chose you and not me
Ab         Eb
 If only I had a good reason
Bbm7         Db
   If only I chose you and not me
Ab         Eb
 If only I had a good reason
Bbm7         Db
   If only I had a good reason
Ab      Eb        Bbm7 Db
 If only, if only
