_ _ _ Lyin' in the park [G] on a beautiful day, sunshine in the grass [F] and the children [G] play.
[A] Sirens [Am] _ [G] passin', fire engines rest, someone's house is burnin' down.
[F]
On a day like [G] [D] this, the evening [Am] comes [G] and we're hangin' out.
On the front step when the car goes by, [F] with the windows rolled [G] [A] down.
And that one song [Am] is, man, [G] why can't we be friends?
Or someone is screamin' and [F] cryin' in the apartment [Bm] [C] upstairs.
Funny the way it is, if you [G] think about it.
_ Somebody's goin' hungry, [F] someone else is eatin' [C] out.

[Am] The bomb blast [G] brings a building crashin' to the floor.
Hear the laughter [F] while the children play.
[G]
[C] Oh, funny the way it is, [G] if you think about it.
[B] One kid [G] walks ten miles to [F] school, another's droppin' [C] out.

_ [C] _ [D] [E] Yeah.
[F] _ [G] _
[Dm] _ Standin' [Bb] on a [C] bridge, watch the water [Dm] passin' underneath.
It [Bb] must've been much [C] harder when there [G] was no precious [D] water.
Well, [Dm] now [Bb] the world is [C] small.
From where the highway used [Dm] to be.
With [Bb] mountains and oceans, [C] winters and [G] rivers and stars.
Like a little baby [Am] bird.

_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [F] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] Across the sky, a jet [G] plane so far out of my reach.
Is there someone up there [F] lookin' down on me?
[G] [D] And the [A] boy chased the [G] bird so close.
But every time, he never catch her.
[F] But he can't stop _ tryin'.
Yeah, yeah, _ yeah, yeah, _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _

Funny the way it [G] is, not right or wrong.
It's soldiers last [F] breath, slavers [C] bein' born.
Funny the way it is, [G] not right or wrong.
[Bm] [G] Somebody's broken heart, [F] become your favorite [C] song.
Funny the way it is, if you [G] think about it.

_ [C] _ [G] _ [A] _
[F] [G] Oh, [Dm] yeah.
Standing [Bb] on a [C] bridge, watch the water [Dm] passin' underneath.
[Bb] There must have been [C] much water when [G] there was no bridge.
It's [F] water now, the [Bb] world is [C] small.
Compare it to how it used to [Dm] be.
With mountains [Bb] and [C] oceans, winters and rivers [G] and stars. _ _ _ _
