       Bm                 A              D

1. These are the reasons I drink.

            G           Bm                       Em                                  D    - Em

    the reasons I tell everybody I'm fine, even though I am not.

       Bm                 A            D

    These are the reasons I overdo it,

    G                  Bm                              Em

    I have been working since I can remember,

                                   D       - Em

    since I was single digits.

 

       Bm              A                       D

2. Now, even though I've been busted,

    G                      Bm

    I don't know where to draw the line

       Em                                                D      - Em

    'cause that groove has gotten so deep.

A                              Bm        G                    D

    And nothing can give reprieve like they do,

A                      Bm        G

    nothing can give a break for this soldier like they do.

 

Bm              G   - D                     A

    Here we are,       I feel such  rapture,

              Bm                    G      D - A

and my comfort is so strong, o.......h !

Bm                 G  - D                   A

    One more hit,       it feels so helpful

           Bm              G     D - A     Bm - G - D    Bm - G - D    - Em

in my need for respite, o.......h. O...............h, o...............h.

 

             Bm                A            D

2. And here are the reasons I eat,

      G           Bm                         Em                                    D

    reasons I feel everything so deeply when I'm not medicated.

           Em         Bm         A             D

    And so that's it, I am buying a Lamborghini,

     G           Bm                              Em                              D

    to make up for these habits, to survive this sick industry.

A                              Bm        G                    D

    And nothing can give reprieve like they do,

A                      Bm        G

    nothing can give a break for this soldier like they do.

 

Bm              G   - D                     A

    Here we are,       I feel such  rapture,

              Bm                    G      D - A

and my comfort is so strong, o.......h !

Bm                 G  - D                   A

    One more sip,      it feels so helpful

           Bm                          G                 D   - A

in my need for some long overdue respite.

  Bm - G - D     Bm - G - D

O................h, o...............h.

 

  Bm                               A             G                                   D

+    And these are the reasons I don't even think I would quit,

Bm                              A             G

    and these are the reasons I can't even see straight.

Bm                              A                      G                          D

    And these are the ones whom I know it so deeply affects,

Em                                            G

    and I am left wondering how I would function without it.

 

Bm              G   - D                     A

    Here we are,       I feel such  rapture,

              Bm                    G      D - A

and my comfort is so strong, o.......h !

Bm                 G  - D                 A

    One more rip,       I go from one lily pad

       Bm                 G   D - A

to another to stay lit, o.......h !

  Bm - G - D     Bm - G - D    Bm - G - D      - - - - - - D

O................h, o...............h. O................h, o...............h.
