Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
Lyin in the park
On a beautiful day
Sun shine in the grass and the children play
Sirens passin
Fire engine's red
Someones house is burning down on a day like this
The evening comes
And were hangin out
On the front step
And a car goes by with the windows rolled down
And that war song is playin why cant we be friends?
Someone's screamin and cryin in the apartment upstairs
Funny the way it is
And if you think about it
Somebodys goin hungry
And someone else is eatin out
Funny the way it is
Whether right or wrong
Somebodys heart is broken
And it becomes your favorite song

The way your mouth feels in your lovers kiss
Like a pretty bird on a breeze
Or water to a fish
But a bomb blast brings the building crashin to the floor
Hear the laughter while the children play war
Funny the way it is
And if you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school
While anothers droppin out
Funny the way it is
No matter right or wrong
On a soldiers last breath
His babys 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 mountains, and oceans, and winters, and rivers and
Stars
Fill: x2
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 cant stop trying
Funny the way it is
And if you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school
While anothers droppin out
Funny the way it is
No matter right or wrong
On a soldiers last breath
His babys being born
Funny the way it is
No matter right or wrong
Somebodys broken heart
And it becomes your favorite song
Funny the way it is
And if you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school
While anothers droppin out

When there was no bridge just water
