[Verse 1]
F                         Bb          Gm
I found a reason to keep living
F                       Bb            Gm            
Oh and the reason, dear, is you
F                      Bb             Gm
I found a reason to keep singing
F                       Bb            Gm
Oh and the reason, dear, is you
F          Dm
Oh I do believe
F                             Dm
If you don't like things you leave
F          Dm                  Bb
For some place you never gone before

[Chorus 1]
F           Bb       Gm
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa
F           Bb       Gm
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa
Ooh 

[Verse 2]
F                    Bb                   Gm
Honey, I found a reason to keep living
F                      Bb                 Gm        
And you know the reason, dear it's you
F                                          Bb                          Gm
And I've walked down life's lonely highways  hand in hand with myself
F             Bb                                       Gm             
And I realized  how many paths have crossed between us

[Chorus 2]
F          Dm
Oh I do believe
F                       Dm
You're all what you perceive
F              Dm                      Bb
What comes is better than what came before
