[F]All day long [C]he was fig[Fsus4]hting for you

[F]Young men com[C]e and [Fsus4]young men go
But l[F]ife goes on just the sa[Fsus4]me

[CHORUS]
And I don't know [C]why
Why do we keep h[Dm7]olding on
I don't know w[C]hy
Pretending to be [Dm7]oh so strong
Oh w[C]hy
Is there something I don't [Dm7]know
Or something very w[C]rong, with you and [Dm7]me
Or maybe[F] [Fsus4]

[F]They've been [C]waiting fo[Fsus4]r word to come down

[F]They won't [C]wait any[Fsus4] longer for you
It ma[F]y already be too l[Fsus4]ate

[CHORUS]
And I don't know [C]why
Why do we keep h[Dm7]olding on

[F]It's been your life for a[Fsus4]s long as you can remember
But you c[F]annot fight no[Fsus4] more

When he as[F]ks you what you did it [Fsus4]for
[F]Cause all day [C]long he wa[Fsus4]s fighting for you
And he d[F]idn't even know your n[Fsus4]ame
[F]Young men come[C] and you[Fsus4]ng men go
But l[F]ife goes on just the [Fsus4]same

Or something very w[C]rong, with you and [Dm7]me
Or mayb[F]e [Fsus4]
