Tom : B
E B C#m E
Hail to the light that my baby watches me
G# C#m B E
In the darkness of the window I can hardly get to sleep
E B C#m E
Wish for the hour that the nighttime soon shall pass
G# C#m B E
And the morning dew will bring us to a day our souls can last
E
Love has a reason
There's a meaning to the world
We're giving
E , B , C#m , E , G# , C#m , B , E
love
E B C#m E
Situation candlelight
G# C#m B E
Enough to see the bits around you, but it's never very bright
E B C#m E
Stare at a memory, you, through the grapevine, heard the truth
G# C#m B E
It's good to learn from your mistakes, but that only works in youth
E
Love has a reason
There's a meaning to the world
We're giving
E , B , C#m , E , G# , C#m , B , E
love
C#m F# B E
Restless minds; curtain calls follow fanfares
Troubled hearts; just a walk down the hall
Restless hearts; you take a punch just to land one
Troubled minds; it's only fair after all
E B C#m E
Mountain, the trail, but you've got it in sight
G# C#m B E
Sometimes the only way is jumping I hope you're not afraid of heights
E B C#m E
Reach in my pocket for a bill that isn't there
G# C#m B E
And to face all of the undoings, still isn't more than I can bear
E
Love has a reason
There's a meaning to the world
We're giving
E , B , C#m , E , G# , C#m , B , E
love
Giving love
Love, love
It's all been good to me
It's all been good to me
E
Love has reason
E
There's a meaning to the world
E B
We're giving love
