Intro 4x: FF A#A#

FF            A#/F
  All day long he was fighting for you
     FF            A#/F
  And he didn't even know your name
FF            A#A#
  Young men come and young men go
    FF            A#A#
  But life goes on just the same


         C majorC
And I don't know why
        Dm7Dm7
Why do we keep holding on
       C majorC
I don't know why
         Dm7Dm7
Pretending to be oh so strong
  C majorC
Oh why
              Dm7Dm7
Is there something I don't know
         C majorC         Dm7Dm7
Or something very wrong with you and me
     | FF | A#A# |
Or maybe

      FF     A#/F | FF | A#/F |
That's the way it is
      FF     A#/F
That's the way it is


FF         A#/F
 They've been waiting for word to come down
       FF              A#/F
They've been waiting for you night and day
      FF     A#/F
They won't wait any longer for you
  FF          A#/F
It may already be too late


         C majorC
And I don't know why
        Dm7Dm7
Why do we keep holding on
       C majorC
I don't know why
         Dm7Dm7
Pretending to be oh so strong
  C majorC
Oh why
              Dm7Dm7
Is there something I don't know
         C majorC         Dm7Dm7
Or something very wrong with you and me
     | FF | A#A# |
Or maybe

      FF     A#/F | FF | A#/F |
That's the way it is
      FF        A#/F
That's the just way it is


Gm7Gm7            D#D#
 You see the dying, you feel the pain
A#A#           Cm7Cm7
What have you got to say
Gm7Gm7            D#D#
 If we agree that we can disagree
A#A#               Cm7Cm7
We could stop all of this today


FF               A#/F
 It's been your life for as long as you can remember
    FF         A#/F
But you cannot fight no more
FF              A#/F
 You must want to look your son in the eyes
    FF             A#/F
When he asks you what you did it for
FF              A#/F
 'cos all day long he was fighting for you
    FF            A#/F
And he didn't even know your name
FF           A#/F
 Young men come and young men go
  FF            A#/F
But life goes on just the same


         C majorC
and I don't know why
A augmentedA       Dm7Dm7
Why do we keep holding on
       C majorC
I don't know why
         Dm7Dm7
Pretending to be oh so strong
  C majorC
Oh why
             Dm7Dm7
Is there something no one told me
         C majorC         Dm7Dm7
Or something very wrong with you and me
     | FF | A#A# |
Or maybe


      FF           A#/F
That's the way it is, (that’s the way…)
FF            A#/F
 Thers's nothing I can do
        FF     A#/F
That's just the way it is
That’s the way...)
