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

     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

Another drop of poison that is slowly sinking in

Biography

After getting dropped by Columbia Records at 18 years old, singer-songwriter Alec Benjamin built a following by playing in parking lots outside of Shawn Mendes and Troye Sivan concerts. The Phoenix, Arizona native caught the attention of Jon Bellion, earning a songwriting credit on Bellion’s debut album and later joined him on tour.

To build on the momentum, Benjamin began uploading new songs to his YouTube channel at a rapid clip and eventually earned a viral hit with “I Built a Friend” and a deal with Atlantic Records.
