I can't even think of one good reason
B               Abm

w'Been together for a few years now

And you know all my ins and outs
C#m                 A          B*        
But everything's way to comfortable

-----
The Chords in the first part sound good as 6th string bar chords. Except the E 
which sounds better as a 5th string A shapes chord.
When the key changes I use mostly 5th string A and Am shapes at the appropriate fret.
