Rachael Yamagata - Reason Why Album: Happenstance (2004) Chords Used: Am [x02210] Bm [x04432] C [332010] Dm [xx0231] D2 [xx0230] D7 [x00212] Fd/D [xx0101] G [320033] CAPO 3 to match album This is a piano song, so you really need to listen to get the chord timing just right. It is near impossible to find any of her sheet music, so this is one I figured out on my own.
