[Intro]
Am Em F C
[Chorus]
Am Em
There's gotta be a reason that I'm here on Earth
F C
Gotta be a reason for the dust and the dirt
Am Em
The changing of the seasons never changed my hurt
F G
So what's it worth? What's it worth?
Am Em
Worth another shot of whiskey and another sip of gin
F C
Another drop of poison that is slowly sinking in
Am Em
If we're going down together, better take another hit
F G
We won't be here forever, so let's make the best of it
[Post-Chorus]
Am
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Em F C
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Am
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Em F G
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse]
Am Em
Walking down to the burial ground
F C
With a sad song in his brain
Am Em
General Cloud is an old man now
F G
But it feels like yesterday
Am Em
He was on the front lines, stranded on the beach
F C
Crawling to his best friend, floating in the sea
Am Em
But he didn't make it, he still can't believe
F G
How arbitrary fate is, he says
[Chorus]
Am Em
There's gotta be a reason that I'm here on Earth
F C
Gotta be a reason for the dust and the dirt
Am Em
The changing of the seasons never changed my hurt
F G
So what's it worth? What's it worth?
Am Em
Worth another shot of whiskey and another sip of gin
F C
Another drop of poison that is slowly sinking in
Am Em
If we're going down together, better take another hit
F G
We won't be here forever, so let's make the best of it
[Post-Chorus]
Am
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Em F C
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Am
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Em F G
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse]
Am Em
She went down to her job in town
F C
With a sad song in her heart
Am Em F G
33 with a wasted dream to become a movie star
Am Em
Living out a suitcase, serving at a bar
F C
Saving up some pennies, working after dark
Am Em
Is she gonna make it? She still can't believe
F G
How arbitrary fate is, she says
[Chorus]
Am Em
There's gotta be a reason that I'm here on Earth
F C
Gotta be a reason for the dust and the dirt
Am Em
The changing of the seasons never changed my hurt
F G
So what's it worth? What's it worth?
Am Em
Worth another shot of whiskey and another sip of gin
F C
Another drop of poison that is slowly sinking in
Am Em
If we're going down together, better take another hit
F G
We won't be here forever, so let's make the best of it
[Post-Chorus]
Am
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Em F C
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Am
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Em F G
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
Am Em
There's gotta be a reason that I'm here on Earth
F C
Gotta be a reason for the dust and the dirt
Am Em
The changing of the seasons never changed my hurt
F G
So what's it worth? What's it worth?
Am Em
Worth another shot of whiskey and another sip of gin
F C
Another drop of poison that is slowly sinking in
Am Em
If we're going down together, better take another hit
F G
We won't be here forever, so let's make the best of it
[Post-Chorus]
Am
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Em F C
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Am
Ooh, ooh, ooh
