              F#m                   A7/E         D7M(6)   F5-
You know I've heard it said there's beauty in distortion
   F#m                        A7/E     D7M(6)            F5-
By     some people who've withdrawn to find their heads
         F#m               A7/E        D7M(6)  F5- 
Now they say that there is humor in misfortune
           Dm/F              A9              A9/E A
You know I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead
         D                A9/C#              D/A            A
Why am I fighting to live       if I'm just living to fight?
         G#m5-        F#m/C#                 D/A               E/B
Why am I trying to see      when there ain't nothing in sight?
         A              Bm7             Bm/F            Db/F
Why am I trying to give     when no one gives me a try?
         F#m      A7/E             Bm7       A
Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die?

    F#m              A7/E            D7M(6)               F5-
You know some people say  that values     are subjective
           F#m                A7/E                 D7M(6)    F
But they're   just speaking wo-o-ords that someone else has said

    F#m               A7/E                D7M(6)        F5-
And so  they live and fight and kill with no objective
               Dm/F             A9              A9/E   A
Sometimes it's hard to tell the living from the dead

         D               A9/C#             D/A              A
Why am I fighting to live      if I'm just living to fight?
         G#m5-        F#m/C#                 D/A              E/B
Why am I trying to see      when there ain't nothing in sight?
         A              Bm7             Bm/F            Db/F
Why am I trying to give     when no one gives me a try?
         F#m      A7/E                Bm7        A
Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die?

    F#m                        A7/E   D7M(6)              F5-
You know I used to weave my wo-o-ords       into confusion
      F#m                     A7/E   D7M(6)                  F5- 
And so   I hope you'll understa-a-and     me when I'm through
         F#m                   A7/E          D7M(6)   F5-
You know     I used to live my life as an illusion
      Dm/F       A9            A9/E           A
But reality will make my dream      come true
             D               A9/C#                D/A
So I'll keep fighting to live     till there's no reason to
      A
Fight
              G#m5-        F#m/C#          D/A            E/B
And I'll keep trying to see      until the end is in sight
             A              Bm7          Bm/F      Db/F
You know I'm trying to give     so c'mon give me a try
             F#m      A7/E           Bm7       D
You know I'm dying to live until I'm ready to die
