Intro
[G] [D] [Am] [C]
Verse 1
[G] [D]
Took a sharp knife, more than once or twice
[Am] [C]
To the heart of this, and you threatened it
[G] [D]
Metaphorically, accidentally
[Am] [C]
You called me your everything
[G] [D]
And the pressure, I have to emphasize
[Am] [C]
Made our roof cave in, built by idiots
[G] [D]
Still so earnestly over carefully
[Am] [C]
Questions crept back into my head again
Chorus
[G] [D] [Am]
That's when I knew suddenly I would be leaving
[C] [G]
And neither of us saw it coming
[D] [Am] [C]
If only I had a good reason
[G] [D] [Am]
That's when I knew, honestly, you would start bleeding
[C] [G]
Just to cover it up for my feelings
[D] [Am] [C]
If only I had a good rеason
Verse 2
[G] [D]
Am I thinking straight? Was I meant to stay?
[Am] [C] [G]
You're too nice to mе when I tell you things you don't wanna hear
[D] [Am] [C]
Like I spent the year over-promising, over everything
Chorus
[G] [D] [Am]
That's when I knew, suddenly you would be grieving
[C] [G]
I'm only half sure that I mean it
[D] [Am] [C]
If only I had a good reason
[G]
Oh, but I bet
[D] [Am]
You’d probably sit there and take it
[C] [G]
Well, that only makes me regret it
[D] [Am] [C]
If only I had a good reason
Bridge
[G] [D]
If only I had a good reason
[Am] [C]
If only it wasn't bad timing
[G] [D]
If only I chose you and not me
[Am] [C]
If only we leaned into fighting
[G] [D]
If only you got disappointed
[Am] [C]
If only I kept every promise
[G] [D]
If only you treated me poorly
[Am] [C]
If only you didn't adore me
[G] [D] [Am] [C]
If only you didn't adore me
Chorus
[G] [D] [Am]
I knew, suddenly I would be leaving
[C] [G]
And neither of us saw it coming
[D] [Am] [C]
If only I had a good reason
[G]
That's when I knew
[D] [Am]
You'd probably sit there and take it
[C] [G]
Well, that only makes me regret it
[D] [Am] [C]
If only I had a good reason
Outro
[G] [D]
If only I had a good reason
[Am] [C]
If only I chose you and not me
[G] [D]
If only I had a good reason
[Am] [C]
If only I chose you and not me
[G] [D]
If only I had a good reason
[Am] [C]
If only I had a good reason
[G] [D] [Am] [C]
If only, if only
