C 
G 
I can't understand why
D 
Am 
everybody's quarreling,
C 
G 
D 
Am 
Nobody gives in case they lose face,
C 
G 
And everybody's guilty and
D 
everybody's innocent,
F 
G 
And the fact of it is nobody gives
A 
Am 
A 
Am 
any more.
It's the same throughout all history,
Nobody gives unless they receive,
And nobody trusts or is willing to believe
C 
And nobody gives or is
G 
D 
willing to concede.

A 
There were thousands of people
Am

struggling to survive.
A 
There was hunger,
unemployment and poverty,
D 
Am 
C 
Then in 1926 they
G 
decided to be free
D 
F 
G 
So they all went on strike and
C 
G 
The workers told the unions,
D 
Am 
who blamed it on the government,
C 
G 
D 
The politicians blamed it on the strikers
Am 
and the mil itants,
C 
G 
Everybody's guilty and
D 
everybody's innocent,
F 
G 
But the fact of it is nobody gives
Am 
A 
Am 
any more.

Back in nineteen hundred and

thirty- nine
Am 
There were scores of German military waiting in a line,
A 
Asus4 
Am 
And the Fatherland wanted what
the world wouldn't give,
C 
And then Hitler decided he
G 
D 
could take what was his,
F 
G 
So they all went to war and said
C 
G 
D 
Kill all the left- wing intellectuals,
Am 
C 
G 
D 
Annihilate the Jews and wipe out their race,
Am 
C 
G 
D 
Eliminate the weak because
they're ineffectual,
F 
And the fact of it is nobody
G 
A 
D 
A 
D 
A 
gives any more.

I'm only sitting
D

And listening to both sides.
D

D 
Yeah, why can't we talk it out,
A 
Why can't we sort it out,
D 
We'll work it out if we try.
A 
Why can't we sit down and work
D 
A 
out a compromise,
D 
Why not negotiate and try to be civilised?
A 
I'll tell you why,
G 
D 
because nobody gives a damn.
A 
Nobody listens and no one
D 
A 
G 
will understand.
D 
A 
Yet I'm wondering,
G 
D 
A 
sitting here wondering,
G 
D 
A 
And listening to both sides.

Why can't we work it out?
