Funny The Way It Is Chords
This is pretty accurate, you just have to play around with the bridge.
Am
Lyin’ in the park
G
On a beautiful day
Em F
Sun shine in the grass and the children play

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

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

Somebody’s goin’ hungry

And someone else is eatin’ out

Funny the way it is

Whether right or wrong
Bm
Somebody’s heart is broken
F
And it becomes your favorite song

The way your mouth feels in your lover’s kiss

Like a pretty bird on a breeze

But a bomb blast brings the building crashin’ to the floor

Hear the laughter while the children play war

One kid walks 10 miles to school

While another’s droppin’ out

No matter right or wrong

On a soldier’s last breath
F
His baby’s being born
