[Intro]
F7+  C  F7+
 
[VERSE]
        G                        C            F7+/C  C
Here we stand, caught between the cradle and the grave
     G                     C       F7+ Am
In a world that gives you nothing but your name
            G       Am       F7+     C
With every step you take you must be brave
       F               G
Nothing lost is nothing gained
 
       G             C              F7+  C
And I know lives are lost for crowns and kings
       G            C        F7+    Am
We all know love is lost for lesser things
 
        G       Am       F7+     C
And the angels here have broken wings
        G/B     Am       F7+      G
Though I know somewhere a choir sings
 
[Chorus]
                 C
You gotta have a reason
  F      G     C
A reason to believe
  F      G       Am
A reason just to dream
           F7+          G       C
Sometimes it takes blind eyes to see
  F7+        G
A reason to believe
 
[VERSE]
            G               C       F7+/C  C
A hot-headed hero, here you see I'm just a man
        G       C       F7+    Am
Comes a time, a time to make a stand
   G      Am      F7+     C
So here I am with heart in hand
     G/B  Am       F7+       G
Don't be afraid to understand
 
[Chorus]
                 C
You gotta have a reason
  F      G     C
A reason to believe
  F      G       Am
A reason just to dream
            F7+          G       C
Sometimes it takes blind eyes to see
  F7+
A reason to...
 
[BRIDGE]
   G          Am
...Believe in trusty
     G       Am
I believe in faith
    G        Am
I believe in us
        Dm     G
'Til my dying day
 
[CHORUS]
                 C     F7+  G
You gotta have a reason
                 C     F7+  G
You gotta have a reason
C  F7+  G  C   F7+  C   G
 
 
[BRIDGE]
   G         Am     G       Am
If all we've got is you and me
     G          Am     Dm        G
Then what we've got is all we need
 
[Chorus]
                 C
You gotta have a reason
  F      G     C
A reason to believe
  F      G       Am
A reason just to dream
            F7+           G       C
Sometimes it takes blind eyes to see
  F      G
One reason
                 C
You gotta have a reason
    F      G     C
One reason to believe
    F    G       Am
A reason just to dream
                 F7+         G        Am
But sometimes it takes blind eyes to see
    F7+   G
One reason
               Am  F  G
Gotta have a reason
               Am
Gotta have a reason
    F       G    Am
One reason to believe
    F       G         F7+  C  F7+
A reason just to dream
