Wake up, get goin', stay busy
        D#m                       C#
Puttin' off gettin' home 'cause I miss you
B                        D#m                C#
Is there freedom in the space that you want turned
into a prison?
B                   D#m                        C#
Is it leaving? If I can't be move on then I'm stuck

One good reason not to love you
G#m      F#    D#m                C#

All your little bad habits should've drove me crazy
And I fell for every little thing and tryin'
to forget ain't easy
I keep lyin' 'cause I wanna feel strong, but
I just feel stupid
And I'm dyin', oh, 'cause even if I found it,
 what would I do with

Chorus:
One good reason not to love you?
One good reason wouldn't be even enough to
Unpaint all of those pictures
There's no way to unremember
I'd love to just unlove you
I've tried to but I can't find
One good reason (One good reason)
One good reason (One good reason)
One good reason
One good reason

       B    F#               D#m C#
And I do relive regret on repeat
             B          D#m                   F# C#
Yeah, it's true, and I know it ain't good for me
       B         D#m               F#  C#
But I can't let go, give up and rewind
      B          D#m             F# C#
If I could, I'd still be askin' why I can't find

Chorus:
One good reason, baby, not to love you
You can't find me one good reason wouldn't be
even enough to
Unpaint all of those pictures
There's no way to unremember
I'd love to just unlove you
I've tried to but I can't find
One good reason
One good reason, yeah
One good reason
One good reason
