Am
Lyin' in the park
G
On a beautiful day
Em F
Sun shine in the grass and the children play
Am
Siren's passin'
G
Fire engine's red
Em F
Someone's house is burning down on a day like this

Am
The evening comes
G
And we're hangin' out
Em
On the front step
F
And a car goes by with the windows rolled down
Am G
And that war song is playin “why can't we be friends ”
Em F
Someone's screamin' and cryin' in the apartment upstairs

C
Funny the way it is
G
And if you think about it
Bm
Somebody's goin' hungry
F
And someone else is eatin' out
C
Funny the way it is
G
Whether right or wrong
Bm
Somebody's heart is broken
F
And it becomes your favorite song

Am G
The way your mouth feels in your lover's kiss
Em
Like a pretty bird on a breeze
F
Or water to a fish
Am G
But a bomb blast brings the building crashin' to the floor
Em F
Hear the laughter while the children play war

Chorus:
C
Funny the way it is
G
And if you think about it
Bm
One kid walks 1 miles to school
F
While another's droppin' out
C
Funny the way it is
G
No matter right or wrong
Bm
On a soldier's last breath
F
His baby's being born

Dm C
Standin' on a Bridge
F Dm
Watch the water passin' under me
C
It must have been much harder

When there was no Bridge just water
Dm C
Now the world is small
F
Remember how it used to be
Dm
With mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and
G
Stars

Interlude - x - Am G G F

Verse:
Am G
Watch the sky the jet-planes
Em
So far out of my reach
F
Is there someone up there lookin' down on me
Am
Boy chase a bird
G
So close but every time
Em
He never catch her
F
But he can't stop trying

Chorus:
C
Funny the way it is
G
And if you think about it
Bm
One kid walks 1 miles to school
F
While another's droppin' out
C
Funny the way it is
G
No matter right or wrong
Bm
On a soldier's last breath
F
His baby's being born

C
Funny the way it is
G
No matter right or wrong
Bm
Somebody's broken heart
F
And it becomes your favorite song

C
Funny the way it is
G
And if you think about it
