Tab of new, studio version of The Reason. (2013)
I find it easiest played half a step down, so tune to Eb standard, and then
transpose this up a half step. If not, then play this in standard tuning.
[Intro]
Fm C# D#
Fm C# D#
[Verse 1]
Fm C# D#
All my life I've searched for something
Fm C# D#
To satisfy the longing in my heart
Fm C# D#
But every time I've come away
Fm C# D# (D#)
Emptier than before
[Chorus]
(D#) Fm C# D#
And now I finally see the reason
Fm C# D#
Cuz I was made to be yours alone
C# G# D#
You formed my heart with your own hands
C# G# D#
But I just could not understand
C# G# D#
If I gave you my life I'd be healed by your grace
C# G# D#
I was made for your love and gave others your place
[Transition]

Fm C# D#
[Verse 2]
Fm C# D#
I spent my days giving my heart away
Fm C# D#
To a---nything new
Fm C# D#
Only to ache from the poison
Fm C# D# (D#)
Of my temporary muse
Fm C# D#
There were times I cried myself
Fm C# D#
To sleep at night
Fm C# D#
On..ly to wake up
Fm C# D# (D#)
Wishing that I didn't
[Chorus]
(D#) Fm C# D#
And now I finally see the reason
Fm C# D#
Cuz I was made to be yours alone
C# G# D#
You formed my heart with your own hands
C# G# D#
But I just could not understand
C# G# D#
If I gave you my life I'd be healed by your grace
C# G# D#
I was made for your love and gave others your place
[Transition]
Fm C# D# (x2)
[Bridge]
Fm C# D#
Thank you for never giving up on me
Fm C# D#
When I looked to everything else and lived so selfishly
Fm C# D#
You bled you died to be with me
(D#) Fm C# D#
Why would you do something like that for someone like me
[Chorus]
(D#) Fm C# D#
And now I finally see the reason
Fm C# D#
Cuz I was made to be yours alone
C# G# D#
You formed my heart with your own hands
C# G# D#
And now I finally understand
C# G# D#
And I gave you my life and I'm healed by your grace
C# G# D#
I was made for your love that no one can replace
C# G# D# C#
This is it, I won't miss everything I am made for
[Outro]
Fm C# D#
To be yo....urs
Fm C# D#
All yo....urs
