[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                     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

          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
Or maybe
[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.       

                 F         Fsus4
That's just the way it is.
(OOh-aaahhh)
                 F         Fsus4
That's just the way it is.

                 F         Fsus4
That's just the way it is.

          F         Fsus4
there's nothing I can do

                 F         Fsus4
That's just the way it is.
