[Am] Lyin' in the park [G] on a beautiful day, _ sunshine in the grass [F] and the children [Am] play.
Sirens passin', [G] fire engine red, someone's house is burnin' down [F] on a day like [Am] this.
The evening comes, I [G] wear aignon on the front step and the car goes by [F] with the windows rolled [E] down.
I'm holdin' that [Am] war song and playin', [G] why can't we be friends?
Someone is screamin' and cryin' in [F] the apartment [G] upstairs.
Funny the way it is, if you think about it, somebody's goin' hungry, someone [F] else is eatin' out.
[C] Funny the way it is, mama, I love [G] you, _ somebody's heart is broken, let me [F] become your favorite song.

_ [Am] _ Sky jet [C] planes [G] so far out of my reach, there's someone up there [F] lookin' down on me.
A [Am] boy plays a bird [G] so close that every time he'll never catch her, [F] but he can't stop _ tryin'.
