[Verse 1]
EbmI was lying on the floor of the playground
GbYou were chasing off a kid with a greyhound
DbI remember thinking you're the cBboolest girl I know
[Verse 2]
EbmYou were swinging from the ceiling rafters
GbIt fell around you in a halo of plaster
DbI don't go to hospitals---I Bblet you go alone
[Chorus]
BI had my reasons at the tiDbme
I had my reasons at the tiEbmme
Something in the state of mGbind
Oh, everlDbasting light...Gb  Db  
[Verse 3]
EbmWhy's your father always calling me out, yeah?
GbThere's a saying in the English South:
"You Dbhave to put your mind in gear befBbore you drive your mouth."
[Verse 4]
EbmI got to thinking of legitimate work
But Gbthey found the powder in the funeral hearse
And Dboh! That blessed conjugal, I Bbcould not be alone
[Chorus]
BI had my reasons at the tiDbme
I had my reasons at the tiEbmme
Something in the state of mGbind

Oh, everlDbasting light...Gb  Db
