G                     C   D           Em 
You can fend for yourself in a bloody war 
     C                  Em    C          D 
But you can't win the fight without the army 
      C                 G               D              C 
And you've gotta stay strong because you'll never be defeated 

C           Em     Am          D 
even when you've given up all hope  
G                 D 
When you say "i quit" 
C              Am  Em  D 
You've got to get back up 


D7        Em     G          Em  
Because you've still got tomorrow 
C  D   Am   
You can win back yesterday 
Em                   Am 
Don't say your done just say c'mon 
D7       G             Em  
We can still live our life 
C            Am         D 
Even if it don't feel right 
D7         Em    G          Em  
Because you've still got tomorrow 
C   D Am      
You can win back yesterday 
    C    D   G 
So hey! WHY NOT?
