This is a really cool song written by Ron Block, and sung by Alison
Krauss on her album, "So Long, So Wrong" It's pretty easy:
Intro: (A)
Verse:
A E D A
I've seen hard times and I've been told
D E
There isn't any wonder that I fall.
A E D A
Why do we suffer, crossing off the years?
D E A
There must be a reason for it all.
Verse 2:
I've trusted in you Jesus, to save me from my sin
Heaven is the place I call my home.
But I keep on getting caught up in this world I'm living in
and your voice it sometimes fades before I know.
Fm D E A
Hurtin' brings my heart to you, crying with my need
Fm D E
Depending on your love to carry me.
A E D A
The love that shed his blood for all the world to see
D E A
This must be the reason for it all.
(instrumental)
Hurtin' brings my heart to you, a fortress in the storm
When what I wrap my heart around is gone.
I give my heart so easily to the ruler of this world
When the one who loves me most will give me all.
F#m D E A
In all the things that cause me pain you give me eyes to see
F#m D E
I do believe but help my unbelief.
A E D A(stop)
I've seen hard times and I've been told
D (stop) A(stop)
There is a reason for it all.
