Story Behind the Song
I wrote this song as a futile response to being dumped.
Lyrics
49 Reasons
[Tune down one whole step E = D]
Intro chords muted & upbeat: E, Am7, D(sus 4 - 2), C
TAB (E-B-G-D-A-E)...
D* = D(sus 4 - 2) = 0-3-0-4-5-x
E Am7 D*C E
Ive been listening to 49 reasons
Am7 D* C E
Why you left, why you said you loved me.
Am7 D* C E
Ive been taken, giving my life away
Am7 D* C F
Feel you lifting me.
C F
Its still dark beneath my bed,
C E
Still as the sleep I never had.
Am7 D* C E
Id piece it all together,
Am7 D* C F
If I could get out of my heart.
C F C
I start alone now, waiting on forever
E Am7 D* C
Never felt I had a chance
A G D G
49! reasons to set me free
A G D G
Your 49! reasons dont feel for me
A G D G
Taking roads that lead to nowhere
A G D
Helpless for a full heart.
E, Am7, D*, C...
Tired, tired, tired of lying about it
I dont know if Ill even stop the doubting
But if I never hold on to another love
Ill hold on to those 49 reasons
C, F, C, E, Am7, D*, C, E, Am7, D*, C...
Its still dark beneath my bed,
Still as the sleep I never had.
Id piece it all together,
If I could get out of my heart.
[guitar solo over F, C, F, C, E, Am7, D*, C]
A, G, D, G...
49 reasons to set me free
Your 49 reasons dont feel for me
Taking roads that lead to nowhere
Helpless for a full heart. [2x] D, E at the end
