Am                     G
Lying in the park on a beautiful day,
                               F
Sunshine in the grass, and the children play.
Am                    G
Siren's passing, fire engine red,
                                     F
Someone's house is burning down on a day like this?
    Am                      G
The evening comes and we're hanging out,
                                            F
On the front step, and a car goes by with windows rolled down,
         Am                              G
And that war song is playing, “why can't we be friends?”
                                                 F
Someone is screaming and crying in the apartment upstairs

C                           G
Funny the way it is, if you think about it
    Bm                             F
Somebody's going hungry and someone else is eating out
C                              G
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
    Bm                            F
Somebody's heart is broken and it becomes your favorite song

(Riff)

Am                               G
The way your mouth feels in your lovers kiss
                                  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
                                     F
You can hear the laughter, while the children play “war”

C                           G
Funny the way it is, if you think about it
        Bm                        F
One kid walks 10 miles to school, another's dropping 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

(Riff)

Dm            Bb      C               F       E5    Dm
Standing on a bridge, watch the water passing under me
           Bb               C                 F            E5
It must've been much harder when there was no bridge, just water
Dm               Bb     C               F       E5
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?

Solo com base  Am  G  F (várias vezes)

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

Solo com base  C  G  Bm  F (várias vezes)

C                           G
Funny the way it is, if you think about it
        Bm                         F
One kid walks 10 miles to school, another's dropping 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

Somebody's broken heart becomes your favorite song
C                           G

      Bm                          F
