A          E/G#
Why are we looking down
       F#m7          E
On our sisters and brothers?
A           E/G#        F#m7 E
Isn't love, all that we got?
A             E/G#
Don't we know everyone's
      F#m7        E
Got a father and mother?
    F#7
The day we know we're all the same
   A/B
Together we can make that change

Look around, there are too many of us crying
And not enough love to go around, oh-oh
What a waste, another day
Another good one dyin'
But I know that the world will change
The day we know we're all the same

Chorus:
A E/G# F#m              E       A E/G#
     Why can’t we just get along?
    F#m         E           A E/G#
If loving one another's wrong
     F#m            E
Then how are we supposed to
F#7               A/B
Get close to each other?
                     A     E/G#
We gotta make that change, yeah
F#m7               E
Why can’t we just get along?

What a waste it would be to deny somebody
Of a chance to be theirselves (Mmm)
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

Chorus:
(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

G#              C#m7
I know we could break apart
         Bm7     E7      Amaj7
We don’t have to go that way
      Am7 A E/G# F#m E
Not today

Chorus:
Yeah, why can't we just get along?
If loving one another's wrong
Then how are we supposed to
Get close to, yeah (Oh, oh)
(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

That change, yeah
