Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G#aug][G]
[F][Em][Dm][G]

[Chorus 1]
There's [Am]gotta be a reason
that I'm [G#aug]here on Earth
[G]Gotta be a reason for the dust and the dirt
The [F]changing of the seasons
never [Em]changed my hurt
So [Dm]what's it worth? What's it [G]worth?
Worth an[Am]other shot of whiskey
and an[G#aug]other sip of gin
An[G]other drop of poison that is slowly sinkin' in
If we're [F]going down together,
better [Em]take another hit
We [Dm]won't be here forever,
so let's [G]make the best of it

[Interlude 1]
[Am]Ooh[G#aug]
[G]Ooh
[F]Ooh[Em]
[Dm]Ooh[G]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Walking down to the [G#aug]burial ground
With a [G]sad song in his brain
[F]General Cloud is an [Em]old man now
But it [Dm]feels like yester[G]day
He was on the [F]front lines,
stranded on the [C]beach
Crawling to his best friend,
floatin' in the [E]sea
But he didn't [F]make it,
he still can't be[C]lieve
How arbitrary fate is, he [E]says

[Chorus 2]
There's [Am]gotta be a reason
that I'm [G#aug]here on Earth
[G]Gotta be a reason for the dust and the dirt
The [F]changing of the seasons
never [Em]changed my hurt
So [Dm]what's it worth? What's it [G]worth?
Worth an[Am]other shot of whiskey
and an[G#aug]other sip of gin
An[G]other drop of poison that is slowly sinkin' in
If we're [F]going down together,
better [Em]take another hit
We [Dm]won't be here forever,
so let's [G]make the best of it

[Interlude 2]
[Am]Ooh[G#aug]
[G]Ooh
[F]Ooh[Em]
[Dm]Ooh[G]

[Verse 2]
[Am]She went down to her h[G#aug]er job in town
With a [G]sad song in her heart
[F]33 with a [Em]wasted dream
To be[Dm]come a movie [G]star
Living out a [F]suitcase, serving at a [C]bar
Saving up some pennies working after [E]dark
Is she gonna [F]make it?
[C]She still can't believe
How arbitrary fate is, she [E]says

[Chorus 3]
There's [Am]gotta be a reason
that I'm [G#aug]here on Earth
[G]Gotta be a reason for the dust and the dirt
The [F]changing of the seasons
never [Em]changed my hurt
So [Dm]what's it worth? What's it [G]worth?
Worth an[Am]other shot of whiskey
and an[G#aug]other sip of gin
An[G]other drop of poison that is slowly sinkin' in
If we're [F]going down together,
better [Em]take another hit
We [Dm]won't be here forever,
so let's [G]make the best of it

[Interlude 3]
[Am]Ooh[G#aug]
[G]Ooh
[F]Ooh[Em]
[Dm]Ooh[G]

[Chorus 4]
There's [Am]gotta be a reason
that I'm [G#aug]here on Earth
[G]Gotta be a reason for the dust and the dirt
The [F]changing of the seasons
never [Em]changed my hurt
So [Dm]what's it worth? What's it [G]worth?
Worth an[Am]other shot of whiskey
and an[G#aug]other sip of gin
An[G]other drop of poison that is slowly sinkin' in
If we're [F]going down together,
better [Em]take another hit
We [Dm]won't be here forever,
so let's [G]make the best of it

[Outro 1]
[Am]Ooh[G#aug]
[G]Ooh
[F]Ooh[Em]
[Dm]Ooh, [G]ooh, [Am]ooh
