This song is originally played on the piano, but I listened to it and created a

There a[C]re no words in times like these
When t[F]ears won't hide the tragedies
And a[Am]ll you want is a r[G]eason for the w[F]orld
No c[C]omfort in the greeting card
Cause G[F]od is good, but life's still hard
And your he[Am]art just wants a r[G]eason for the [F]world
Chorus
Am/C (1st chorus only; all others C)
But maybe the reason for the pain
Is so that w[G]e would pray for strength
And maybe the r[F]eason for the strength
Is so that w[G]e would not lose hope
And maybe the re[Am]ason for all hope
Is so that [G/B]we could face the world
And the r[Am]eason f[G]or the wo[F]rld is to make us long for h[C]ome, h[F]ome[Am][G][F]
For God so loved your broken heart
He sent His son to where you are
He died to give a reason for the world
So lift your sorrows to the One
Whose plan for you has just begun
And rests here in the hands that hold the world
Chorus
Well I know you're p[Am]ast the point of broken
Surrounded[G] by your fear
I know your fe[F]et are tired and weary
From the ro[G]ad you walk down here
But just ke[C]ep your eyes on heaven
And know that y[G]ou are not alone
Remember the[Am] reason f[G]or the worl[F]d
No ear has heard, no eye has seen
Not even in your wildest dreams
The beauty that awaits beyond this world
When you look into the eyes of grace
And hear the voice of mercy say,
"Child, welcome to the reason for the world."
