Intro: E
Verse:
E Dbm
I'm not a perfect person
E
As many things I wish I didn't do
Dbm
But I continue learning
A
I never meant to do those things to you
B
And so I have to say before I go
E
That I just want you to know
Chorus:
Dbm
I've found a reason for me
A
To change who I used to be
B
A reason to start over new
E
and the reason is you
Interlude: E
Verse:
Dbm
I'm sorry that I hurt you
E
It's something I must live with everyday
Dbm
And all the pain I put you through
A
I wish that I could take it all away
B
And be the one who catches all your tears
E
That's why I need you to hear
Chorus:
Dbm
I've found a reason for me
A
To change who I used to be
B
A reason to start over new
E
and the reason is You x4
Bridge:
E Dbm
I'm not a perfect person
E A
I never meant to do those things to you
B
And so I have to say before I go
E
That I just want you to know
Chorus:
Dbm
I've found a reason for me
A
To change who I used to be
B
A reason to start over new
E

4 ukulele chords used in "The Reason" by Hoobastank: A, B, Dbm and E
I think there’s part of the lyrics missing at the end, after the ending “chorus” there should be another one with the same tune but different lyrics:
“I’ve found a reason to show
A side of me you didn’t know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you”
I love this song, thank you for sharing <3
+1 is easier
Hi there – newbie here. When you refer to +3 or -4, I assume that is transposing. How are you doing that? Do you use a capo? Sorry if this is a dumb question.
+3 is easier too 🙂
