You are the reason (intro) (sample)

Am - Dm - Am - F - Dm - Am

Am                                 Dm  

1. A shadow in the moonlight, here she comes to me,

Am            G          F

we sit and talk about it all,

Em              

and out in the distance, a dream is over,

E                       Am

all I've been working for.

Dm                    G    - G7

This is not how I want you to see me,

C          G       A

I have done the best I can,

Dm       G

now the only thing I believe in,

G7                   C - G7

is a woman and a man.

C                  C7       F          

You are the reason I stay in the fight,

G - C                  C7            F

when I can't take it anymore,

G - C                  C7     F

you are the reason I’ll wake in the night,

      C    G   Am

and say that I was only dreaming of it all.

+ Am - Dm - Am - Am - Dm

Am                                  Dm  

2. And now in the dawn light, she talks with me again,

Am                G F  

remember all the things we've done,

Em

been through the bad times, and we've seen through the sad times,

E                       Am

we're stronger than before.

Dm                    G    - G7

And you picked me up when I was falling,

C          G       A - A7

and you gave me back my pride,

Dm       G

and you listen when I am calling,

G7 C    - G  

and hear the man inside.

C                  C7       F          

You are the reason I stay in the fight,

G - C                  C7            F

when I can't take it anymore,

G - C                  C7     F

you are the reason I’ll wake in the night,

      C    G   - G7 C

and say that I was only dreaming of it all.

+ instrumental = CHORUS

C                  C7       F           Fm - C

You are the reason I stay in the fight.
