[Intro]
G Dadd4 Am7 C

[Verse 1]
       G                      Dadd4        
Took a sharp knife, more than once or twice
       Am7                    C            
To the heart of this, and you threatened it
    G               Dadd4   
Metaphorically, accidentally
                   Am7       C
You called me your everything
        G                   Dadd4    
And the pressure, I have to emphasize
         Am7                    C     
Made our roof cave in, built by idiots
         G              Dadd4    
Still so earnestly over carefully
          Am7                C         
Questions crept back into my head again

[Chorus]
            G      Dadd4               Am7    
That's when I knew suddenly I would be leaving
    C                    G     
And neither of us saw it comin'
   Dadd4             Am7   C
If only I had a good reason
            G       Dadd4                     Am7     
That's when I knew, honestly, you would start bleeding
        C                  G       
Just to cover it up for my feelings
   Dadd4             Am7   C
If only I had a good rеason

[Verse 2]
     G                        Dadd4         
Am I thinking straight? Was I meant to stay?
           Am7               C                         G         
You're too nice to mе when I tell you things you don't wanna hear
       Dadd4               Am7      
Like I spent the year over-promising
     C         
Over everything

[Chorus]
            G       Dadd4                 Am7     
That's when I knew, suddenly you would be grieving
    C                     G      
I'm only half sure that I mean it
   Dadd4             Am7   C
If only I had a good reason
        G           Dadd4                  Am7    
Oh, but I bet you'd probably sit there and take it
      C                    G      
Well, that only makes me regret it
   Dadd4             Am7   C
If only I had a good reason

[Bridge]
G         Dadd4            
If only I had a good reason
Am7        C                
If only it wasn't bad timing
G         Dadd4               
If only I chose you and not me
Am7        C                   
If only we leaned into fighting
G           Dadd4           
If only you got disappointed
Am7       C                 
If only I kept every promise
G           Dadd4            
If only you treated me poorly
Am7         C                G       Dadd4
If only you didn't adore me (Ah, ah, ah)
Am7         C              
If only you didn't adore me

[Chorus]
G       Dadd4                   Am7
I knew, suddenly I would be leaving
    C                    G              
And neither of us saw it coming (Coming)
   Dadd4             Am7               C                 
If only I had a good reason (If only I had a good reason)
            G     
That's when I knew
      Dadd4                  Am7    
You'd probably sit there and take it
      C                    G      
Well, that only makes me regret it
   Dadd4             Am7               C                 
If only I had a good reason (If only I had a good reason)
   G  
Ah-huh

[Outro]
          Dadd4            
If only I had a good reason
Am7       C                   
If only I chose you and not me
G         Dadd4            
If only I had a good reason
Am7       C                   
If only I chose you and not me
G         Dadd4            
If only I had a good reason
Am7       C                
If only I had a good reason
G      Dadd4    Am7 C
If only, if only
