Verse:
C                 E              Am
Beauty queens and libertines and beggars on their benches
     C               E                 Am
They go to sleep and dream like you and I
C                         E         Am
Billionaires behind their walls and soldiers in their trenches
      C                E            Am
We're all just looking for a reason why

Pre-chorus:
              C          E       Am
To get out of bed in the morning (Ahh)
                 C            E          Am
To fight off the urge to just go call it quits
               C          E      Am
'Cuz sometimes reality is boring (Ahh)
           C               E           Am
And it's a shame, but it's just how it is

Chorus:
C     E           Am
Everybody's gotta live (yes, they do)
C         E           Am
And everybody's gonna die (die die)
C     E                  Am
Everybody try to have a, a good time
C           E               Am
I think you know the reason why

Verse:
   C                E                 Am
So pour a drink, or have a smoke, cuz we all got our vices
     C             E              Am
Just doing what we need to to get by
C                  E                Am
Wear a dress, your Sunday best, whatever you feel nice in
    C                E             Am
Cuz God knows we all need a reason why

I think you know the reason why

Verse:
C             E                Am
Taxi cars and prison bars, and history repeating
   C                E              Am
We build our little boxes, you and I
   C                   E                    Am
So cross your heart or read your cards, whatever you believe in
     C                E             Am
'Cuz God knows we all need a reason why
