F5              C5     Bb5
All day long he was fighting for you
       F5                     Bb5
And he didn't even know your name

Young men come and young men go

But life goes on just the same
                 C5
And I don't know why
               D5
Why do we keep holding on

I don't know why

Pretending to be oh so strong

Oh why

Is there something I don't know

Or something very wrong, 
             D5
with you and me
F5          F5
or maybe
Bb5       F5           F5
That's the way it is,
Bb5   F5 F5
 
Bb5            F5          F5  Bb5
That's just the way it is.

They've been waiting for word to come down

They've been waiting for you night and day

They won't wait any longer for you

It may already be too late

And I don't know why...
G5                     Eb5
You see the dying, you feel the pain
Bb5                   C5
What have you got to say
If we agree that we can disagree
We could stop all of this today

It's been your life for as long as you can remember
But you cannot fight no more
You must want to look your son in the eyes
When he asks you what you did it for

'Cos all day long he was fighting for you 
And he didn't even know your name
Young men come and young men go
But life goes on just the same

I don't know why...
