[Verse 1]
I [C]can't un[G]derstand why
[D]everybody's quarrel[Am]ing,
[C]Nobody [G]gives in cas[D]e they lose fac[Am]e,
And [C]every[G]body's guilty and
[D]everybody's innocent,
And the fact of it [F]is nobody [G]gives
any [A]more.[Am][A][Am]
It's the same throughout all history,
Nobody gives unless they receive,
And nobody trusts or is willing to believe
And [C]nobody gives or is
[G]willing to con[D]cede.
Back in nine[A]teen [Am]hundred
and twenty- five
There were [A]thousands of people
[Am]struggling [A]to survive.[Am]
There was [A]hunger,
unemployment and poverty,
[D]The[Am]n in 1926[C] they
de[G]cided to be free
[D]So they all[F] went on [G]strike and
[C]The workers told [G]the unions,
[D]who blamed it on the gov[Am]ernment,
[C]The politicians [G]blamed it on [D]the strikers
and the [Am]mil itants,
[C]Everybody's [G]guilty and
[D]everybody's innocent,
But the fact of it [F]is nobody [G]gives
any [Am]more.[A][Am]
Back in [D]nine[A]teen [Am]hundred and
thirty- [A]nine[Am][A][Am][A]
There were scores of German military [Am]waiting in a line,
[A][Asus4]
And [Am]the Fatherland wanted what
the world wouldn't give,
And [C]then Hitler decided he
could [G]take what [D]was his,
So they [F]all went to [G]war and said
[C]Kill all [G]the left- [D]wing intellectuals,
[Am]Annihila[C]te the Jews [G]and wipe[D] out their race,
[Am]
[C]Eliminate the [G]weak be[D]cause
they're ineffectual,
And the fact of it [F]is nobody
[G]gives [A]any [D]mor[A]e.[D][A]
[D]I'm [G]only sittin[A]g[G]
[D]here watching it [A]all go on
[D]And listening to both sid[A]es.
Yeah, [D]why can't we [A]talk it [D]out,
Why can't we [A]sort it out,
We'll [D]work it out if we try.
[A]Why can't we sit down and work
out a com[D]prom[A]ise,
Why not negotiate and try to be civil[D]ised?
[A]I'll tell you why,
because [G]nobody [D]gives a damn.
[A]Nobody listens and no one
[D]will [A]under[G]stand.
[D]Yet I'm [A]wondering,
[G]sit[D]ting here won[A]dering,
[G]And listening to [D]both sid[A]es.
[D]Why can't we [A]work it [G]out?
[D]Why can't we [A]sort it [G]out?
We'll work it [D]out if we try.
[A]Why can't we sit down and
[G]work out [D]a compromise,
[A]Why not negotiate and try[G] to be civili[D]zed?
[A]I'll tell you why,
because [G]nobody [D]gives a damn.
[A]Nobody listens and no [G]one
will [D]under[A] st[G]and.
[D]Yet, I'm won[A]dering,
[G]sittin[D]g here wondering[A],[G][D][G][A][G][D]
[A]Yet [G]I'm[D] wondering[A],
[G]sittin[D]g her[G]e wonder[A]ing[G]
Listening [D]to both [A]sides.[G][D]
[A]Nobody [G]gives, [D]nob[A]ody gives,
[G]nob[D]ody[A] gives.[G][D][A][G][D][A]
[G][A][Am][A][G][A][D]
[A][Am][A][E][G]
[D][A]
[C]The workers told the [G]unions
[D]who blamed it on the gov[A]ernment,
[Am]The [C]politicians blam[G]ed it on the s[D]trikers
and the mil[A]itant[Am]s,
[C]Everybody's [G]guilty and
[D]everybody's innocent.
[C]Nobody [G]gives. [D]Nob[Am]ody[C]
[G]gives a dam[D]n any more.
[Am]The poli[C]ticians, union[G]s,
[D]workers and the militants,
The fact of it [F]is nobody [G]gives any more.
