Intro
F   Fsus4   F   Fsus4
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
F          C       Fsus4 
They won't wait any longer for you
     F                 Fsus4
It may already be too late
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,         
                 F         Fsus4
That's just the way it is.
Bridge
Gm                     Eb
You see the dying, you feel the pain
Bb                   Cm7
What have you got to say
Gm                       Eb
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
          F                      Fsus4
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

Outro
           F                     Fsus4    F                    Fsus4
That's the way it is,  Thats the way       there's nothing I can do,
                 F         Fsus4
That's just the way it is.
