[Verse]
G G/F# Em G7/D C/G H7
You know I've heard it said there's beauty in distortion
Em G7/D C/G H7
By some people who've withdrawn to find their heads
Em G7/D
Now they say that there is humor in misfortune
Am Am7 D G/C
You know I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead
[Chorus]
G A H C/G G Am7 G
Why am I fighting to live if I 'm just living to fight?
D7/F# Em Am7 D/C
Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight?
G G7/A C C/G H Em
Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try?
C/G G Am7 G
Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die?
[Verse]
G G/F# Em G7/D C/G H7
Hey, you know some people say that values are subjective
Em G7/D C/G H7
But they're just speaking words that someone else has said
Em G7/D
And so they live and fight and kill with no objective
Am Am7 D G/C
Sometimes it's hard to tell the living from the dead
[Chorus]
G A H C/G G Am7 G
Why am I fighting to live if I 'm just living to fight?
D7/F# Em Am7 D/C
Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight?
G G7/A C C/G H Em
Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try?
C/G G Am7 G
Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die?
[Verse]
G G/F# Em G7/D C/G H7
Yeah, you know I used to weave my words into confusion
Em G7/D C/G H7
And so I hope you'll understand me when I 'm through
Em G7/D
You know I used to live my life as an illusion
Am Am7 D G/C
But reality will make my dreams come true
[Chorus]
G A H C/G G Am7 G
So I'll keep fighting to live till there's no reason to fight
D7/F# Em Am7 D/C
And I'll keep trying to see until the end is in sight
G G7/A C C/G H Em
You know I'm trying to give so c'mon give me a try
C/G G Am7 G
You know I'm dying to live until I'm ready to die.
