Funny The Way It Is

	  		
Am                     G 
Lying in the park on a beautiful day, 
                               F 
Sunshine in the grass, and the children play. 
Am                    G 
Siren’s passing, fire engine red, 
                                     F 
Someone’s house is burning down on a day like this? 
    Am                      G 
The evening comes and we’re hanging out, 
                                            F 
On the front step, and a car goes by with windows rolled down, 
         Am                              G 
And that war song is playing, (why can’t we be friends?) 
                                                 F 
Someone is screaming and crying in the apartment upstairs 

C                           G 
Funny the way it is, if you think about it 
    Bm                             F 
Somebody’s going hungry and someone else is eating out 
C                              G 
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong 
    Bm                            F 
Somebody’s heart is broken and it becomes your favorite song 

(Riff) 

Am                               G 
The way your mouth feels in your lovers kiss 
                                  F 
Like a pretty bird on a breeze or water to a fish 
  Am                           G 
A bomb blast brings a building crashing to the floor 
                                     F 
You can hear the laughter, while the children play (war) 

C                           G 
Funny the way it is, if you think about it 
        Bm                        F 
One kid walks 10 miles to school, another’s dropping out 
C                        G 
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong 
     Bm                        F 
On a soldier’s last breath his baby’s being born 

(Riff) 

Dm            Bb      C               F       E5    Dm 
Standing on a bridge, watch the water passing under me 
           Bb               C                 F            E5 
It must’ve been much harder when there was no bridge, just water 
Dm               Bb     C               F       E5 
Now the world is small. Remember how it used to be, 
     Dm           Bb           C                     G        G7 
With mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars? 

Solo com base  Am  G  F (várias vezes) 

Am                                G 
Watch the sky, the jet planes, so far out of my reach 
                                  F 
Is there someone up there looking down on me? 
Am                  G 
Boy chase a bird, so close but every time 
                              F 
He’ll never catch her, but he can’t stop trying
