Dan Fogelberg - Reason to Run
INTRO:   G   C    G   C    G   C   G   Am   G   C   Am    G   C  G  
Pecos mountains in the Cfading Glight
Shadows Emstretching 'til they're Fclean out of CsightG  
How could anything that Cfelt so Gright 
At the Amsame time Gfeel so Cwrong
At the Amsame time Gfeel so CwrongG  
All these questions, baby, Call these Gfears
Kept me Emrunning through the Fbest of my CyearsG  
I pray this storm inside me Csomeday Gclears
But these Amscars run Gso damn Cdeeply
But these Amscars run Gso damn Cdeep in me
CHORUS:
There's a reason for Geverything, they Csay
That's under the DsunC  
For every reason to Gstay 
I find a reason to EmrunC  
I find a reason to Grun
INSTRUMENTAL:   G   C   G   Em   F   C    G   C   G   Am   G   C   Am    G   C  G  
Seems I've always had these Cfriends of Gmine
The smoke, the Embottle, and the Ffine white ClineG  
To keep me company through the Ccrush of Gtime
But these Amchanges Gcome so Cslowly
And these Amchanges Gcome so Cslow to me
CHORUS:
There's a reason for Geverything, they Csay
That's under the DskyC  
For every reason to Glove
There's a reason to EmcryC  
There's a reason for Geverything, they Csay
That's under the DsunC  
For every reason to Gstay 
I find a reason to EmrunC  
I find a reason to GrunC  G

Shadows stretching 'til they're clean out of sight

At the same time feel so wrong

All these questions, baby, all these fears

And these changes come so slow to me
