Start Jamming...
[Bb]
Reasons to quit.
[Eb] Smoking booze don't do me [Bb] like before.
[Gm] And I'm hardly ever sober.
My old friends [E] don't come round [C]
much [F] anymore.
[G] [F]
[Bb] Reasons to quit.
[Eb] The low is always lower than [Bb] the high.
And the reasons to quit
[F] don't outnumber all the reasons [Bb] why.
So we [Eb] keep smoking and we keep drinking,
having [Bb] fun and never thinking.
[F] Laughing at price tags that we [Bb] pay.
And we [Eb] keep roaring down the slain
like [Gm] two young [Bb] men feeling no pain.
And the reasons for quitting
are [F] getting bigger each [Bb]
day.
Reasons to quit.
[Eb] I can't afford the habit all the [Bb] time.
I
[F] [Gm] need to be sober.
I need to write [C] some new songs [F] that will rhyme.
[Eb] [F] [Bb]
Reasons to quit.
[Eb] They have no rhyme or reason when [Bb] you're high.
And the reasons to quit
[F] don't outnumber all the [Bb] reasons why.
[Eb]

[Bb] [F]

We [Eb] keep smoking and we keep drinking,
having [Bb] fun and never thinking.
[F] And laughing at the price tag that we [Bb] pay.
We [Eb] keep roaring down the slain
like two [Bb] young men feeling no pain.
And the reasons for quitting
[F] are getting bigger [Bb] each day.
And the reasons for quitting

[B] [A]
[E] [B]
[Gbm] [B] [E]
There's a circle [B] of people
[A] where I'm no [E] longer welcome.
And I'm ashamed to say that I no longer [B] fit.
I [E] could sober up [B] tomorrow
[A] and face my friends [E] again.
[B] But I've got no reason [E] to quit.
No, I've got [A] no reason [E] for living right.
And there's no other way.
[B] Forget it.
I [E] could sober up [B] tomorrow
[A] and face my friends [E] again.
[B] But I've got no reason [E] to quit.

No, I've got [A] no reason [E] for living right.
And there's no other way to [B]
forget.
[E] I know down deep [B] inside me
[Bb] [A] that I'm mad enough [E] to change.
[Dbm] [B] But I've got no reason [E] to quit.
