[Verse]
                    Bb              
All day long he was fighting for you
F                            Bb  
And he didn't even know your name
F                    Bb          
■ Young men come and young men go
F                         Bb  
But life goes on just the same
      C             
And I don't know why
          Dm7            
Why do we keep holding on
        C       
I don't know why


[Chorus]
              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          Bb
■ Or maybe ■ 
F                    Bb F
That's the way it is ■  ■
Bb F                    Bb
■  That's the way it is ■ 


[Verse]
F                          Bb               
■ They've been waiting for word to come down
F                                  Bb     
They've been waiting for you night and day
F                     Bb            
■ They won't wait any longer for you
F                     Bb  
It may already be too late
            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          Bb
■ Or maybe ■ 
F                    Bb F
That's the way it is ■  ■
Bb F                        
■  That's just the way it is


[Chorus]
Bb Gm                       Eb           
■  ■  You see the dying you feel the pain
Bb                   C  
What have you got to say
Gm                      Eb      
If we agree that we can disagree
         Bb               C     Cm7
We could stop all of this today ■  


[Verse]
F                                  Bb              
It's been your life for as long as you can remember
        F               Bb  
But you cannot fight no more
F                              Bb         
You must want to look your son in the eyes
        F                        Bb 
When he asks you what you did it for
F                          Bb              
'cause all day long he was fighting for you
       F                     Bb  
And he didn't even know your name
F                        Bb    
Young men come and young men go
         F                Bb  
But life goes on just the same
                 C  
And I don't know why
               Dm7       
Why do we keep holding on


[Chorus]
             C  
I don't know why
                 Dm7         
Pretending to be oh so strong
   C  
Oh why
                               Dm7
Is there something no one told me 
                  C                  Dm7
Or something very wrong with you and me 
F         
■ Or maybe
Bb                F    
■  That's the way it is
Bb      F               Bb
There's ■ nothing I can do
                F      Bb F  Bb
That's just the way it is oh ■ 
                F      Bb
That's just the way it is
            F            
That's just the way it is
Bb                       F  Bb
■  There's nothing I can do ■ 
            F          Bb
That's just the way it is


[Outro]
                F        
That's just the way it is
           F  
That's the way
           F  
That's the way
           F  
That's the way


[End]
