Story behind the song
hasn't every marriage gone through this ?
Lyrics
She is the reason D A She always talks about how hard life is Bm Bm A G /A/D And how people just let you down D A She always talks about having her dreams Bm Bm A G Come crashing to the ground A G D/G She hangs her head in resignation A G A/D And wishes for some kind of salvation D A I always talk about moving away Bm Bm/ A/ G /A/D And starting over somewhere else D D A And I always talk about about great big schemes BM A G As if I am living on a little shelf A A G/D/G I always talk like life has passed me by A G/A/D She says it’s not true not this time Chorus : D Bm Gbm Maybe it’s my fault for making her feel G A Like the bars on my cage D Bm Maybe it’s my fault Bm Gbm For making it seem G A That I don’t want her to stay G D/D7/Em She is not my prison Em D7/ G A/D/G/D She is the reason, the reason that I pray We used to talk about the future As if we would last forever We used to talk late into the night And tell each other undercover Even if they say it’s a crime We will not pass we will survive So what became of us Lovers in june Now there’s a cool loneliness that fills the room Can we still be like this Can’t you see baby You’re the one is miss She hangs her head in resignation And wishes for some kind of salvation

Oh Dave, This is a great ballad, and you have sang it with much feeling. Nice harmonies, as well. Lovely production.. It's an awesome song, too. Great guitar solo. Thank you so much for your kindness of BUS RIDE...I am happy that you like it. I always leave my harmonies a bit un-perfect..so people will know that I do not use ,whatever you said the machine was..:-)) Have a great evening, Lekzee

THis is by far the best of your songs in my opinion...lyric is honest and beautiful, music is dreamy and yet has a solid melody, a lovely tempo and beautiful vocals/harmones. Guitar solo is lovely...love this song very much Dave!!

A most enjoyable and memorable experience; working with you on She Is the Reason...it was an emotional experience, too, as I was able to identify with the song...Well written, and crafted. :) Thanks for asking me to be on this wonderful piece of music with you, David...I enjoyed working with you very much. :)

She is the reason was in Power Pop the first time I heard it and it immediately hit me where I live. Not many songs do that but this has such universal appeal. Anyone who has been in a relationship I think can identify. Now to the melody it is pure beauty. Vocals are among the authors best of his catalog as David lets you know he believes what he is singing. Now to add Tammy Swindells piano is just icing on the remake cake. Great song and a great first impression of Daves music and to read he was a Raspberry and Gin Blossoms fan well as George Harrison once said it is All too much.
