I was takin' it for granted a little more than I should
I had it easy, ummm,
Was life ever doing me good
I had it all written, how the story would end
But I ran out of pages and
I was left all alone with the pen
The story's still got a line and the song'll still rhyme
The names are the same, they're yours and they're mine
(I guess I knew it all the time)

I've Got A Reason

Gm Bb F

Dm Am Gm

Been a child in my life, a child in my dreams

It seemed forever

Bb F

That I'd get ahold of myself in between

Dm Am Gm

Nothin' for certain at least it seemed so anyway

And I was wondering

Bb F Fsus4 F

What I would become or what may

Bb F Fsus4 F

Music was my life, finally took everything

Bb F

Ain't it funny how you got it all and not a thing

Gm Bb

(It's a gift I can sing)

Chorus:

F Bb F Bb

I've got a reason for living each day

F Bb F Bb

I've got a reason for makin' it pay

F Bb F Bb

If it's only for a moment and only my way

F Bb F Bb F Gm Bb F

I've got a reason, a time and a season

I was takin' it for granted a little more than I should

I had it easy, ummm,

Was life ever doing me good

I had it all written, how the story would end

But I ran out of pages and

I was left all alone with the pen

The story's still got a line and the song'll still rhyme

The names are the same, they're yours and they're mine

(I guess I knew it all the time)
