Verse 1
Walking through life with dark clouds above me
I never thought I'd find someone to love me
Lost in the crowd, never felt so lonely and
I’m really liv - ing
Barely holding onto a dream of what could be
Chorus 1
It only took one taste of your kiss
Now I know everything that I missed
My heart is beating for the first time
Anticipating your every touch
Intoxicating me with your love
And I'm so high
And you're the reason why

Verse 2
(tacet) D Em7
Walking on clouds and finally laughing
Never be – lieved this would ever happen
You found a place I never knew existed
Two souls em – brace
With no resistance just in time you've saved my life
Chorus 2
It only took one taste of your kiss
Now I know everything that I missed
My heart is beating for the first time
Anticipating your every touch
Intoxicating me with your love
And I'm so high
And you're the reason why
You’re why
Solo
Bridge
You're the reason why...
You're the reason why...
Chorus 3
It only took one taste of your kiss
Now I know everything that I've missed
G Gm ( tacet )
My heart is beating for the first time
Anticipating your every touch
Intoxicating me with your love
And I'm so high
And you're the reason why
Girl, you’re the reason why
*Alternate Chorus (Intermediate Level)
It on - ly took one taste of your kiss
Now I know
Ev - ery thing that I've missed
My heart is beating for the first time
An - tic - i - pat - ing your ev - ery touch
In - tox - i - cat - ing
me with your love
And I'm so high
And you're the reason why
Girl, you’re the reason why
This is my interpretation of the song and is what I hear. I have
included the chords I use to play this song, but please feel
free to experiment with your own voicings.
*The Alternate Chorus for intermediate level players more
accurately represents what is played in the song. Playing these
chords will certainly make the song sound more accurate, but
require more skill to play. Playing the chords included in the
main body of the song will maintain the overall flavor of the
song and make it easier for some guitar players to play along.
If you are capable of playing the quick chord changes presented
in the Alternate Chorus, then those chords should be played for
all three choruses in the song.
Tacet means don’t play.
