[Verse 1]
C
Look around any old crowded bar
             F
You'll see a million reason a million scars
        C                  A7              D7  G
You can hear what the body language has to say
  C                           F
A good libation in celebration a dedication in desperation
       C                  G                     C
If you wanna know why I'm here let me count the ways

[Chorus]
C                              D
I only need one good reason to keep on drinkin'
        C
So I'll have one more I'm not done
     F                    G                   C
Well I'm toast I'll toast every little thing around
          F                G
Until the memories are all gone
  C                        F
I can't think of one thing wrong
                  G
With drinkin' and thinkin' of the one good reason I have
           C
And it's a big one

[Verse 2]
C
I keep pourin' it in I don't think it shows
          F
There's a hole in my heart where all the whiskey goes
      C                    A7                     D7       G7
I try fillin' it up but it just seems to go right through
C
Drink as I may no matter what I do
F
Never seem to need a reason number two
           C
I count it all on one finger
     G                        C
It's always pointin' right at you

Now let me hear you drinkers

[Chorus]
C                              D
I only need one good reason to keep on drinkin'
        C
So I'll have one more I'm not done
        F                     G                   C
I'll be non stop, bottoms up, callin' for another round
          F                G
Until the memories are all gone
  C                        F
I can't think of one thing wrong
                  G
With drinkin' and thinkin' of the one good reason I have
           C       C
And it's a big one

[Bridge]
            D
Now there's all kinds of reasons good and bad
         G
There's about twenty-seven that my brother had
      A7
I'd a had 'em all rather than the one I have
           D                       G
I wouldn't be here countin' in the aftermath

[Chorus]
                C                  D
But I need only one good reason to keep on drinkin'
     C
So I have one more I'm just drinkin'
    D                    G
And thinkin' of one good reason I have
           C
And it's a big one

C
It's a big one I'll tell ya it's a big one
   G7                 C
Oh brother it's a big one
