Am
Lyin’ in the park
G
On a beautiful day
Em F
Sun shine in the grass and the children play
Am
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
C
Funny the way it is
G
And if you think about it
Bm
Somebody’s goin’ hungry
F
And someone else is eatin’ out
C
Funny the way it is
G
Whether right or wrong
Bm
Somebody’s heart is broken
F
And it becomes your favorite song

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

Standin’ on a bridge

Watch the water passin’ under me

So close but every time

He never catch her

But he can’t stop trying

version 4
Lyin’ in the park, on a beautiful day,
Sunshine in the grass, and the children play,
Siren’s passin’, fire engine’s red,
Someone’s house is burning down, on a day like this,
The evening comes, and we’re hangin’ out,
On the front step, and a car goes by with the windows rolled down,
And that, war song is playin “why can’t we be friends?”
Someone's screamin’ and cryin’ in the apartment upstairs,
Funny the way it is, if you think about it,
Somebody’s goin’ hungry, and someone else is eatin’ out,
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong,
Somebody’s heart is broken, and it becomes your favorite song…
The way your mouth feels, in a lover’s kiss,
Like a pretty bird, on a breeze, or water to a fish,
A bomb blast, brings the building crashin’ to the floor,
Hear the laughter, while the children play war,
Funny the way it is, if you think about it,
One kid walks 10 miles to school, another’s droppin’ out,
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong,
On a soldier’s last breath, His baby’s being born…
Standin’ on a bridge, watch the water passin’ under me,
It must have been much harder, when there was no bridge, just water,
Now the world is small, remember how it used to be,
With mountain, and oceans, and winter’s, and river’s and stars,
Lead
Watch the sky the jet planes, so far out of my reach,
Is there someone up there, lookin’ down on me?
Boy chase a bird, so close but every time,
He never catch her, But he can’t stop trying... .
Lead
Oh, Funny the way it is, if you think about it,
One kid walks 10 miles to school, another’s droppin’ out,
Funny the way it is, Not right or wrong,
On a soldier’s last breath, His baby’s being born,
Funny the way it is, Not right or wrong,
Somebody’s broken heart, becomes your favorite song,
Funny the way it is, if you think about it,
One kid walks 10 miles to school, another’s droppin’ out…
Standin’ on a bridge, watch the water passin’ under me,
It must have been much harder, when there was no bridge, just water,
Now the world is small, remember how it used to be,
With mountain, and oceans, and winter’s, and river’s and stars.
