Am G
Lying in the park on a beautiful day,
Em F
sunshine in the grass, and the children play.
Am G
Siren's passing, fire engine red,
Em F
someone's house is burning down on a day like this?
Am G
The evening comes and we're hanging out,
Em F
On the front step, and a car rolls by with the windows rolled down,
Am G
And that war song is playing, "why can't we be friends?"
Em F
Someone is screaming and crying in the apartment upstairs
Am G
Funny the way it is, if you think about it
Bm F
Somebody's going hungry and someone else is eating out
Am G
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
Bm F
Somebody's heart is broken and it becomes your favorite song
Riff 1
Am G
The way your mouth feels in your lovers kiss
Em 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
Em F
You can hear the laughter, while the children play "war"
Am G
Funny the way it is, if you think about it
Bm F
one kid walks 10 miles to school, another's dropping out
Am G
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
Bm F
On a soldier's last breath his baby's being born
Riff 1
Dm Bb C F Em Dm
Standing on a bridge, watch the water passing under me
Bb C F Em
It must've been much harder when there was no bridge, just water
Dm Bb C F Em
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?
Am — G — Am — Em
Am G
Watch the sky, the jet planes, so far out of my reach
Em F
Is there someone up there looking down on me?
Am G
Boy chase a bird, so close but every time
Em F
He'll never catch her, but he can't stop trying
