[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 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
[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 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
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

Ooh, ooh, ooh

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

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
        Am                         Em
There's gotta be a reason that I'm here on Earth
