[Intro]
G D  E  A7  D
[Verse 1]
EmYounger men don't seem to need a A7purpose
They just Dstand and fight for anybody's Bmcause
The oElder men see living as a Acircus
And the Bmones who stand up Glongest need appDlause
From the Emyoung ones who proclaim to know the aAnswers
To the Dquestions no one ever asked beBmfore
They'll Gcheer and have parades but when it's Dover
They don't cE7laim to have the Aanswers anyDmore
[Chorus]
And it's a Emcrazy Aworld but I Dlive here
And if F#you can hear me singing so do BmyouD/A  
I'm a'Gturning out my night light feeling sDatisfied
Ain't F#nothing any one of us can Bmdo
GOh no, there's Dnothing any Aone of us can Ddo
[Instrumental]
G D  E  A7  D
[Verse 2]
EmBabies cry all day sometimes for A7nothing
And DI have cried all day for not much Bmmore
Its not Eeasy when you hate the things you're Aloving
And you Bmwonder who or Gwhat you're loving Dfor
The Emgirls seem to think that they're the Achosen ones
And the Dwomen say let well enough aBmlone
it's their Gbusiness until you stick your Dnose in one
And then E7brother you got Aproblems of your Down
[Chorus]
And it's a Emcrazy Aworld but I Dlive here
And if F#you can hear me singing so do BmyouD/A  
I'm a'Gturning out my night light feeling sDatisfied
Ain't F#nothing any one of us can Bmdo
GOh no, there's Dnothing any Aone of us can Ddo
