G D/F# Em7
 
[Verse]
G          D/F#
Why are we looking down
       Em7         D
On our sisters and brothers?
G           D/F#        Em7    D
Isn't love, all that we got?
G             D/F#
Don't we know everyone's
      Em7        D
Got a father and mother?
    E7
The day we know we're all the same
     G/A
Together we can make that change
 
[Verse]
G           D/F#
Look around there are too many of us crying
       Em7         D
And not enough love to go around
G            D/F#
What a waste, another day
          Em7       D
Another good one dying
   E7
But I know that the world will change
   G/A
The day we know we're all the same
 
[Chorus]
G D/F#  Em                D          G D/F#
        Why can’t we just get along?
   Em         D               G D/F#
If loving one another's wrong
     Em         D
Then how are we supposed to
E7                G/A
Get close to each other?
                   G       D/F#
We gotta make that change, yeah
Em7          D
Why can’t we just get along?
 
G D/F# Em7 D
 
[Verse]
G             D/F#
What a waste it would be to deny somebody
      Em7        D
Of a chance to be theirselves
G             D/F#         Em7           D
What a waste it would be if we hurt for nothing?
  E7
But I know that the world can change
  G/A
The day we know we're all the same
 
[Chorus]
G D/F#  Em                D          G D/F#
        Why can’t we just get along?
   Em         D               G D/F#
If loving one another's wrong
     Em         D
Then how are we supposed to
E7                G/A
Get close to each other?
                   G       D/F#
We gotta make that change, yeah
 
[Bridge]
F#              Bm7
I know we could break apart
         Am7      D7      Gmaj7
We don’t have to go that way
    Gm7     G D/F# Em D
Not today
 
[Chorus]
G D/F#  Em                D          G D/F#
        Why can’t we just get along?
   Em         D               G D/F#
If loving one another's wrong
     Em         D
Then how are we supposed to
E7                G/A
Get close to each other?
                   G       D/F#
We gotta make that change, yeah
    Em      D
The change, yeah
Lyrics
One, two, three, four
Why are we looking down
On our sisters and brothers?
Isn’t love, all that we got?
Don’t we know everyone’s
Got a father and mother?
The day we know we’re all the same
Together we can make that change
Look around there are too many of us crying
And not enough love to go around
What a waste, another day
Another good one dying
But I know that the world will change
The day we know we’re all the same
Why can’t we just get along?
If loving one another’s wrong
Then how are we supposed to
Get close to each other?
We gotta make that change, yeah
Why can’t we just get along?
What a waste it would be to deny somebody
Of a chance to be theirselves
What a waste it would be if we hurt for nothing?
But I know that the world can change
The day we know we’re all the same
Why can’t we just get along?
(Why can’t we just get along?)
If loving one another’s wrong
(Why can’t we just get along?)
Then how are we supposed to
Get close to each other?
We gotta make that change, yeah
I know we could break apart
We don’t have to go that way
Not today
Why can’t we just get along?
If loving one another’s wrong
Then how are we supposed to
Get close to yeah
(Why can’t we just get along?)
Why can’t we just get along?
(Why can’t we just get along?)
If loving one another’s wrong
(Why can’t we just get along?)
Then how are we supposed to
Get close to each other?
We gotta make that change, yeah
The change, yeah
