1.One thing's for   sure              That it's still the same 
                 F                               Am                   
 That young folk die              For some noble aim 
                                                                         
  And they live so fast              But they die so young 
                   F                                    Am                 
  And we just keep wondering         What the hell went wrong? 
                    F                                                  
  Yeah they live so fast             But they die so young 
                   F  *              *              *                             
  And we just keep wondering                                    What goes

                                                           (What goes on)

   (What goes on)                  (What goes on) 
 
                                                    You got everything to 
                                                                           
 live for                 You got everything to live for 
                           F                                 Am            
 Ain't nothing you want to die for          No no nothing at all 
                    F                                   Am                 
  Cause you live so fast                 But you die so young 
                  F  *            *              *              *               
 And we just keep wondering   wondering 
 
 
2.It's such a shame 
  Such a useless shame 
  That they have to play 
  Such a hopeless game 
  And it makes me shake 
  Makes me shake with rage 
  For wasted life 
  For nothing gained 
  'Cause you die so fast 
  And they die so young 
  And we just keep wondering 
  What goes on?
