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