[Verse]
F C Fsus4
All day long he was fighting for you
F Fsus4
And he didn't even know your name
F C Fsus4
Young men come and young men go
F Fsus4
But life goes on just the same
[Chorus]
C
And I don't know why
Dm7
Why do we keep holding on
C
I don't know why
Dm7
Pretending to be oh so strong
C
Oh why
Dm7
Is there something I don't know
C Dm7
Or something very wrong, with you and me
F Fsus4
Or maybe
F Fsus4 F Fsus4
That's the way it is, there's nothing I can do,
F Fsus4
That's just the way it is.
[Verse]
F C Fsus4
They've been waiting for word to come down
F Fsus4
They've been waiting for you night and day

It may already be too late

C
Oh why
Dm7
Is there something I don't know
C Dm7
Or something very wrong, with you and me
F Fsus4
Or maybe
F Fsus4 F Fsus4
That's the way it is,
F Fsus4
That's just the way it is.

Gm D#
You see the dying, you feel the pain
Bb Cm7
What have you got to say
Gm D#
If we agree that we can disagree
Bb Cm7
We could stop all of this today
[Verse]
F Fsus4
It's been your life for as long as you can remember
F Fsus4
But you cannot fight no more
F Fsus4
You must want to look your son in the eyes

When he asks you what you did it for
F C Fsus4
Cause all day long he was fighting for you
F Fsus4
And he didn't even know your name
F C Fsus4
Young men come and young men go
F Fsus4
But life goes on just the same
[Chorus]
C
And I don't know why
Dm7
Why do we keep holding on
C
I don't know why
Dm7
Pretending to be oh so strong
C
Oh why
Dm7
Is there something I don't know
C Dm7
Or something very wrong, with you and me
F Fsus4
Or maybe
