Key: E Major BPM: ♩ = 83 Time: 4/4
|E     |E     |E     |E     |

|E    |E            |C#m            |C#m                           |
   I'm not a perfect person, there’s many things I wish I didn't do
|E    |E         |C#m        |C#m                                  |
   But I continue learning, I never meant to do those things to you
|A    |A                         |B   |B                             |
   And so, I have to say before I go,    that I just want you to know

|E     |E                 |C#m   |C#m                    |
   I've found a reason for me, to change who I used to be
|A   |A                   |B   |B                      |
   A  reason to start over new,   and the reason is you

|E    |E           |C#m           |C#m                                |
   I'm sorry that I hurt you, it’s something I must live with everyday
|E    |E                 |C#m           |C#m                               |
   And all the pain I put you through, I wish that I could take it all away
|A    |A                              |B            |B                     |
   And be the one who catches all your tears, that’s why I need you to hear

|E     |E                 |C#m   |C#m                    |
   I've found a reason for me, to change who I used to be
|A   |A                   |B   |B   |
   A  reason to start over new

                 |D   |D                  |E   |E   |
And the reason is you,   and the reason is you
                 |D   |D                  |E   |E   |
And the reason is you,   and the reason is you

|E    |E            |C#m      |C#m                                  |
   I'm not a perfect person, I never meant to do those things to you
|A    |A                        |B   |B                             |
   And so I have to say before I go,    that I just want you to know

|E     |E                 |C#m   |C#m                    |
   I've found a reason for me, to change who I used to be
|A   |A                   |B   |B                      |
   A  reason to start over new,   and the reason is you

|E     |E                |C#m    |C#m                       |
   I've found a reason to show, a side of me you didn't know
|A   |A                    |B   |B                      |
   A  reason for all that I do,    and the reason is you

|E     |E     |E     |E     |
