WE ARE THE REASON
(Avalon)
(Tab Submitted by Raffy Cardeno - Orange Blood Band @Youtube)

Intro: Cm9 - Dm7 - G7 (2x)
Verse 1:
          C                 E7                 Am
As little children we would dream of Christmas morn
    C       C7        F       Cm7       Dm7
and all the gifts and toys we knew we'd find
       E7       Am           Am7       
but we never realised a baby born one blessed
D7                Cm7          G      G7
night gave us the greatest gift of our lives

Chorus:
C                       Dm                
We were the reason that He gave His life, 
Dm7         G              C
we were the reason that He suffered and died
     Am                           Dm                
to a world that was lost, He gave all He could give 
   Dm          G         Intro (Cm9 - Dm7 - G7)
to show us the reason to live

Verse 2:
       G              B7                 Em
As the years go by we learned more about gifts
    G            C          Gm7       Am7
the giving of ourselves and what that means
     B7               Em            Em7
On a dark and cloudy day a man hung crying
       A7              G-D                  D7
in the rain because of love, all because of love


Chorus:
G                       Am7               
We were the reason that He gave His life, 
D7                         G
we were the reason that He suffered and died
     Em                           Am                
to a world that was lost, He gave all He could give, 
   Am          D         G
to show us the reason to live

BRIDGE:
     Ab                         Eb     
I've finally found a reason for living, 
        Ebm                     C#
it's in giving every part of my heart to Him
   C#m                  Ab               
In all that I do, every word that I say, 
        Bb                     Eb       E
I'll be giving my all just for Him, for Him

Chorus 2:
    D                       Em               
And we were the reason that He gave His life, 
A                          D
we were the reason that He suffered and died
     Bm7                         Em                
to a world that was lost He gave all He could give, 
   Em          A         D   -D7
to show us the reason to live
Em       A         D
He is my reason to live....
