Biography:
The Reason is a Canadian rock band, from Hamilton ON, formed by Adam White and James Nelan in 2003. Adam White (vocals) and James "Cubby" Nelan (guitar) formed The Reason in late 2003 after the passing of their punk rock band, Sewing With Nancie. Eventually adding Erik Mikalauskas (guitar), Cam Bordignon (drums) and Sean Palmer (bass), The Reason began to write songs and immediately released their first EP - Problems Associated With Running. The band replaced Mikalauskas with Jeremy Widerman on guitar shortly afterwards, and went on tour.

The verses consist of these same pattern, for simplicity I'm just going to label the
chords D* and A* for the patterns above
D*
Yeah, it's been a lonely road

I've been out singing about love with a heart of stone
D*
That's when the going got tough
A*
I spent some lonely nights on the longest highway home
Chorus:
Em7 G D A
This is the longest highway I've been on
Em7 G D A
On the loneliest day you've ever known
Verse 2:
D*
This one goes out to the fools
A*
All you boys in the back hanging out, you got a love back home
D*
But when you're with your friends
A*
There's no goddamn place in the world that you'd rather be
No!
Chorus:
Em7 G D A
This is the longest highway I've been on
Em7 G D A
On the loneliest day you've ever known
Em7 G D A
When the words that we say keep on coming out wrong
Em7 G D*
On the longest highway home

There was nothing I could do or say
Bm-G-A

A
There was nothing I could say or do
Bm-G-A
Those lonely nights still bother you
D*
Yeah, it's been a lonely road
A*
I've been out spillin' my guts, but my guts don't know
