Am - G - G - F
Verse:
Am G
Lyin' in the park On a beautiful day
G F
Sun shine in the grass, and the children play
Am G
Siren's passin' Fire engine's red
G F (G)
Someone's house is burning down on a day like this
Verse:
Am G
The evening comes And we're hangin' out
G F
On the front step And a car goes by with the windows rolled down
Am G
And that, war song is playin why can�t we be friends
G F (G)
Someone is screamin' and cryin' in the apartment upstairs
CHORUS:
C G
Funny the way it is And if you think about it
Bm F (G)
Somebody's goin' hungry And someone else is eatin' out
C G
Funny the way it is Whether right or wrong
Bm F (G)
Somebody's heart is broken And it becomes your favorite song

Am G
The way your mouth feels in your lover's kiss
G F
Like a pretty bird on a breeze Or water to a fish
Am G
But a bomb blast, brings the building crashin' to the floor
G F (G)
Hear the laughter, while the children play war
CHORUS:
C G
Funny the way it is And if you think about it
Bm F (G)
One kid walks 10 miles to school While another's droppin' out
C G
Funny the way it is No matter right or wrong
Bm F
On a soldier's last breath His baby's being born

Watch the sky the jet-planes So far out of my reach
