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:

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Em           F         C
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh


Verse 1:
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

Verse 2:
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

If we're going down together, better take another hit
