[Verse 1]
     G/B      Em                    G7              CMaj7  B7
You know I've heard it said there's beauty in distortion
         Em                G7                  CMaj7  B7
By some people who've withdrawn to find their heads
         Em                 G7          Em6     Cm
Now they say that there is humor in misfortune
            C                 D                   G
You know I wonder if they'll laugh when they are dead

[Chorus]
          C           G                Am7       G
Why am I fighting to live if I'm just living to fight?
          C         Em                   Am7        D
Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight?
          G         G7               C       B7  Em
Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try?
          C        G                Am        G
Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die?

[Verse 2]
     G/B       Em              G7            CMaj7   B7
You know some people say that values are subjective
                   Em                 G7               CMaj7   B7
But they're just speaking words that someone else has said
             Em                 G7             Em6      Cm
And so they live and fight and kill with no objective
                C                D               G
Sometimes it's hard to tell the living from the dead


[Chorus]
          C           G                Am7       G
Why am I fighting to live if I'm just living to fight?
          C         Em                   Am7        D
Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight?
          G         G7               C       B7  Em
Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try?
          C        G                Am        G
Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die?

[Verse 3]
     G/B    Em                G7            CMaj7   B7
You know I used to weave my words into confusion
         Em                 G7               CMaj7   B7
And so I hope you'll understand me when I'm through
           Em               G7             Em6      Cm
You know I used to live my life as an illusion
      C           D                  G
But reality will make my dream come true

[Last Chorus]
              C           G                    Am7         G
So I'll keep fighting to live till there's no reason to fight
                C       Em            Am7           D
And I'll keep trying to see until the end is in sight
               G        G7            C      B7 Em
You know I'm trying to give so c'mon give me a try
              C        G              Am       G
You know I'm dying to live until I'm ready to die

Until   God takes me
