[Verse 1]
Am
I still remember
          C
Just like it was yesterday
    F
The moment the gavel
            D
Brought the fires and the rage
    Am
Now it stands to reason
        C
That in time we'd see a change
        F
But the more things keep on shifting round
    D
The more they stay the same


[Pre Chorus 1]
             C                 G
Please don't tell me that it's over
                     D                      A
It breaks my heart I fear we'll never make amends
             C                 G
Where is the love within these borders?
               D
When will this end?


[Chorus]
             C             Am       F  G
Why can't we all just get along?
             F        C    Am       F  A
Why can't we all just get along?


[Verse 2]
    Am
Now father said son
             C
You'd better keep this truth in mind
      F
If we come back together
         D
We might all get out alive
        Am
But the war that is raging
  C
Between the hearts of men
    F
For ideas not worth saving
           D
That might break us in the end


[Pre Chorus 2]
           C                G
With empty words we keep on fighting
                  D                           A
We're only getting weaker cause we're too headstrong
                 C             G                     D
When there is no real way of deciding who's right or wrong


[Chorus]
             C             Am       F  G
Why can't we all just get along?
             F        C    Am       F  G
Why can't we all just get along?


[Bridge]
              E
You're either ignorant or blind
         E
(There I said it)

(There I said it)
             E
I thought we left this shit behind
          E
(There I said it)

(There I said it)
           E
Don't tell me I don't belong

Don’t insist you're right I'm wrong
           E
The answer in the end was never black or white


[Interlude]

[Pre Chorus 2]
           C                G
With empty words we keep on fighting
                   D                          A
We're only getting weaker cause we're too headstrong
              C                G                     D
When there is no real way of deciding who's right or wrong


[Chorus]
                           Am      F  G
Why can't we all just get along?
             F        C    Am      F  G
Why can't we all just get along?
                           Am      F  G
Why can't we all just get along?
             F        C    Am      F  G    F C
Why can't we all just get along?
