[Intro]
Am  G  G  F
 
[Verse]
Am                     G
Lyin' in the park on a beautiful day
     G                         F
Sun shine in the grass and the children play 
Am              G
Siren's passin' fire engine's red
           G                          F           G
Someone's house is burning down on a day like this 
 
[Verse]
     Am                     G
The evening comes and we're hangin' out 
       G                                     F
On the front step and a car goes by with the windows rolled down 
       Am                             G
And that war song is playin why can’t we be friends
         G                              F                 G
Someone is screamin' and cryin' in the apartment upstairs 
 
[Chorus]
C                          G
Funny the way it is if you think about it 
    Bm                          F                  G
Somebody's goin' hungry someone else is eatin' out 
C                       G
Funny the way it is not right or wrong 
     Bm                      F                        G
Somebody's heart is broken becomes your favorite song

[Verse]
Am                                G
The way your mouth feels in your lover's kiss 
               G                    F
Like a pretty bird on a breeze  Or water to a fish 
   Am                               G
A bomb blast, brings the building crashin' to the floor 
          G                   F                G
Hear the laughter, while the children play war 
 
[Chorus]
C                          G

        Bm                       F                     G
One kid walks 10 miles to school another's droppin' out 
C                       G
Funny the way it is not right or wrong 
      Bm                       F
On a soldier's last breath his baby's being born

Dm            Bb     C               F      C    Dm
Standin' on a bridge watch the water passin' underneath  
             Bb               C                 G
It must have been much harder when there was no bridge just water 
Dm               Bb       C               F      C
Now the world is small compared to how it used to be 
     Dm                Bb                   C           G     G

[Verse]
Am                              G
Watch the sky the jet-planes so far out of my reach 
          G                       F
Is there someone up there lookin' down on me? 
    Am                  G
the Boy chase a bird so close but every time 
    G                     F                F   G
He never catch her but he can't stop trying
