Love Is The Reason

Am                  F           C
Mama dragged us to church every Sunday
    F               C             G
And Heaven knows I didn't want to go
     Am       G                     F                 C
The preacher talked too long and I didn't like those songs
       F                               G
That hour and fifteen went by way too slow

 Am                      F          C
When I asked my mother, "Why do we bother?"
      Dm                                  G
She smiled and said from deep down in her soul

  C                  F              C
Love is the reason, love is the reason
     F            C            G
Oh, love is the reason that I go
         Am        G           C
Standing up for what I believe in
 Am                      C
That's where my heart is leading
     F             G          C
And love is the reason that I go

 Am                  F             C
Time went by and we got a littlе older
        Am                 F                G
My brother signed up to wеar that army green
    Am              G          F             C
Fighting the good fight and leaving home behind
               F          C               G
But giving everything to be all he could be

   Am                     F           C
And I asked my brother, "Why do you bother?"
            Dm                               G
And he stood up tall and said these words to me

  C                  F             C
Love is the reason, love is the reason
       F            C            G
Yeah, love is the reason that I go
 Am                  G               C
I'm gonna fight for what I believe in
          F                 C
That's where my heart is leading
      F            G           C
And love is the reason that I go

  F                           G
Love is strong and love is kind
           Am           F
Love will go the extra mile
 F                          G
It ain't scared to pay the price
 G           Am       F
Love will always sacrifice

  C
Walking up the hill that stood before Him
   F                              G
Carrying that cross to bear our shame
    Am              G      F
If I could ask Him why He was laying down His life
 Dm                                G
I know that I would hear my Jesus say

  C                   F              C
Love is the reason, love is the reason
        F             C           G
Yeah, love is the reason that I go
   Am                    G          C
I'll give my life for what I believe in
        F                    C
That's where my heart is leading
       F            G          Am
And love is the reason that I go
      F              G
Oh, love is the reason that I go
