As recorded by Zach Bryan (From the 2026 Album WITH HEAVEN ON TOP) [Intro] Am G Cadd9 Fmaj7 Am G Cadd9 Fmaj7 [Verse 1]
Am              G              Cadd9           Fmaj7
I spent my last dollar on some courage I could buy

Am           G             Cadd9          Fmaj7
Forty ounces of it at some truck stop in Ohio

      Am         G           Cadd9         Fmaj7
Spent forty days walking and another forty high

Am              G             Cadd9           Fmaj7
Just for you to give me forty reasons for goodbye
[Interlude] Am G Cadd9 Fmaj7 Am G Cadd9 Fmaj7 [Verse 2]
      Am         G              Cadd9      Fmaj7
Spent forty days drying out and forty days sober

        Am             G             Cadd9         Fmaj7
Smokin' cigarettes and quotin' Bible verses on the sofa

Am                   G             Cadd9      Fmaj7
You said, "All's not lost, just an eye for an eye"

   Am           G            Cadd9    Fmaj7
So I carried my cross to the bar last night
[Chorus]
    Am  G          Cadd9 Fmaj7
Say why, yeah, say why

          Am   G   Cadd9 Fmaj7
Yeah, say why, say why
[Verse 3]
Am              G              Cadd9           Fmaj7
I spent my last dollar on some courage I could buy

Am           G            Cadd9           Fmaj7
Forty ounces of it before you tell me goodbye

Am                G             Cadd9       Fmaj7
Still drove forty hours and I'd drive forty more

      Am          G              Cadd9           Fmaj7
Forty days in the desert just to wind up at your door

      Am            G              Cadd9          Fmaj7
Forty ounces, forty minutes, forty days and forty ways

      Am                  G           Cadd9             Fmaj7
Forty reasons that you're leaving and forty more you'll stay
[Chorus]
    Am G     Cadd9
Say why, say why

Fmaj7 Am G
Say   why

Cadd9 Fmaj7 Am G Cadd9 Fmaj7 Am G Cadd9 Fmaj7
     No

    Am  G    Cadd9
Say why, say why

Fmaj7 Am G     Cadd9 Fmaj7
Say   why, say why

    Am  G    Cadd9
Say why, say why

Fmaj7 Am  G    Cadd9 Fmaj7
Say   why, say why
[Outro]
Am              G              Cadd9           Fmaj7
I spent my last dollar on some courage I could buy

Am           G             Cadd9          Fmaj7
Forty ounces of it at some truck stop in Ohio

      Am         G            Cadd9        Fmaj7
Spent forty days walking and another forty high

Am              G             Cadd9           Fmaj7
Just for you to give me forty reasons for goodbye
