Capo 1 
 
A                   D                                  A  
Reasons to quit the smoke and booze don't do me like before 
        F#m                                             B              E 
And I'm hardly ever sober and my old friends don't come around much anymore  
A                   D                            A 
Reasons to quit the low is always lower than the high 
        A               E                               A 
And the reasons to quit don?t outnumber all the reasons why 


[Refrão]
           D                                 A 
So we keep smokin and we keep drinkin, havin fun and never thinkin'  
E                                 A 
Laughin' at the price tags the we pay 
            D                                  A  
And we keep roarin down the fast lane like two young men feelin no pain 
        A                               E           A 
And the reasons for quittin' are gettin bigger each day
 
 
Reasons to quit, I cant afford the habit all the time 
And I need be sober, I gotta write some new songs that will rhyme 
Reasons to quit, there ain't no rhyme or reason when your high 
And the reasons for quittin' don't outnumber all the reasons why
