The Only Way

C  Em  F  G  C

           C
I read the paper
                Em
And I watch the news
                 Am
It seems there's only pain and suffering
                Em
And there ain't nothing I can do
        F
It's so senseless
         G
I feel defenceless
   C      G
So small

                C
I could shut my windows
             Em
I could bolt doors
         Am
But if I don't feel safe enough
            Em
To speak my mind anymore
                F
Then what's the use
                     G
I've nothing left to lose
                  C
And no further to fall

             G
So I'm gonna love
                Am
And I'm gonna believe
          G
I'm gonna dream
              Am
But I'm gonna roll up my sleeves
     Em                               F
Give everything until there's nothing left to give
           C        G             F
That's the only way I know how to live

         C
It was a nightmare
              Em
No tongue can tell
    Am
The streets of New York city
            Em
Looked just like the gates of Hell
     F
In a flash
                  G
The smoke and the ash
                  C     G
Pouring down like rain

                 C
But they circled wagons
                  Em
And they gathered round
        Am
As they bravely pulled our brothers
        Em
And our sisters from the ground
      F
And I know
                 G
That we owe them more
            C
Than to be afraid

             G
So I'm gonna love
                Am
And I'm gonna believe
          G
I'm gonna dream
              Am
But I'm gonna roll up my sleeves
     Em                               F
Give everything until there's nothing left to give
           C        G             F
That's the only way I know how to live

            C
So why seek vengeance?
              Em
What comes of war?
       Am
I know freedom has a price
       Em
But it doesn't keep score
                 F
It's too much to swallow
             G
It's left me hollow
               C
After all this time
            G
All of this time

            C
But I won't tell you
          Em
What to believe
            Am
But I'm too young to be so cynical
        Em
And too old to be naïve
      F
Every action
           G
Breeds a reaction
               C
So let this be mine

             G
So I'm gonna love
                Am
And I'm gonna believe
          G
I'm gonna dream
              Am
But I'm gonna roll up my sleeves
     Em                               F
Give everything until there's nothing left to give
           C        G             F
That's the only way I know how to live
