Aint No Reason Chords
Ain't No Reason
By Brett Dennen
Bb Dm
There ain't no reason things are this way
Bb Dm C
It's how they've always been and they intend to stay
Bb Dm
I can't explain why we live this way
C
We do it everyday
Bb Dm
Preachers on the podium speaking the saints
Bb Dm C
Prophets on the sidewalk begging for change
Bb Dm
Old ladies laugh from the fire escape
C
Cursing my name
Bb Dm
I got a basket full of lemons and they always taste the same
Bb Dm C
A window and a pidgen with a broken wing
Bb Dm
You could spend you whole life working for something
C
Just to have it taken away
Bb Dm
People walk around pushing back their desks
Bb Dm C
Wearing paychecks like necklaces and bracelets
Bb Dm
Talking about nothing, not thinking about death
C Dm (no bottom E string) C
Every little heartbeat every little breath
Bb Dm
People walk a tight rope on a razor's edge
Bb Dm C
Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons
Bb Dm
It could be a bomb, or a bullet or a pin
C
Or a thought, or a word, or a sentence
Bb Dm
There ain't no reason things are this way
Bb Dm C
It's how they've always been and they intend to stay
Bb Dm
I dont't know why i say the things i say
C
But i say them anyway
Dm Bb C
Love will come set me free
Dm Bb C
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Dm Bb C
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Dm Bb C
Love will come set me free
Bb Dm
Prison walls still standing tall
Bb Dm C
Some things never change at all
Bb Dm
Keep on building prisons gonna fill them all
C Dm (no bottom E string) C
Keep on building bombs gonna drop them all
Bb Dm
Working your fingers bare to the bone
Bb Dm C
Breaking your back to make yourself useful
Bb Dm
Laugh along, it's filled with cold
C
Suffocating slow
Bb Dm
The wind blows wild and i may move
Bb Dm C
But politicians lie and i am not fooled
Bb Dm
You don't need no reason nor a three-piece suit
C
To argue the truth
Bb Dm
The air on my skin, and the world under my toes
Bb Dm C
Slavery stitched in to the fabric of my clothes
Bb Dm
Chaos and commotion wherever i go
C
Love i try to follow
Dm Bb C
Love will come set me free
Dm Bb C
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Dm Bb C
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Dm Bb C
Love will come set me free
Bb Dm
There ain't no reason things are this way
Bb Dm C
It's how they've always been and they intend to stay
Bb Dm
I can't explain why we live this way
C
We do it everyday

He has toured extensively across the U.S. with his band (including drummer Randy Schwartz), supporting such musicians as John Mayer and guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela. As of fall 2007, he is currently touring with Guster and singer-songwriters Meiko and Joshua James.
Dennen has been a part of The Mosaic Project, San Francisco Bay Area based nonprofit, since its inception. The Mosaic Project works towards a peaceful future by uniting young children of diverse backgrounds, providing them with essential skills to thrive in an increasingly diverse society, and empowering them to strive for peace. As The Mosaic Project's Resident Rock Star, Dennen created an original musical curriculum for the program, which they released as an album called Children's Songs for Peace and a Better World, in 2003. It won a Children's Music Web 2004 Award and a Parent's Choice 2004 Approved Award.
In November, 2007, Dennen was named as one of Rolling Stone Magazine's "10 Artists To Watch."[2]
In 2008, Entertainment Weekly named Dennen a "Guy on the Rise", one of 8 emerging singer-songwriters.[3] After a spring tour co-headlining with Mason Jennings and opening act, Missy Higgins, Brett will go into the studio to record his 3rd release. He'll head out on the road this summer with John Mayer and Colbie Caillat hitting festivals such as the Rothbury Music Festival in Michigan and the Mile High Music Festival in Colorado. [4]
