E                  C#m
I'm not a perfect person
                                       E
There are many things I wish I didn't do
                C#m
But I continue learning
                                     A
I never meant to do those things to you
                               B
And so I have to say before I go
                          E
That I just want you to know

Chorus:
                        C#m
I've found a reason for me
                         A
To change who I used to be
                        B
A reason to start over new
                   E
And the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with every day
And all the pain I put you through

I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear

Chorus:
                        C#m
I've found a reason for me
                         A
To change who I used to be
                        B
A reason to start over new
                   D
And the reason is you

                   E
And the reason is you
                   D
And the reason is you
                   E
And the reason is you

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

Chorus:
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
