Funny The Way It Is Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

AmLyin’ in the park

 On a Gbeautiful day

 Sun Emshine in the grass and the Fchildren play

AmSiren’s passin’

GFire engine's red

 Someone’s Emhouse is burning down on a Fday like this

 The eveAmning comes

 And we’re Ghangin’ out

 On the front sEmtep

 And a car goes by with the Fwindows rolled down

 And that Amwar song is playin “why can’t Gwe be friends?”

 Someone's Emscreamin’ and cryin’ in the Fapartment upstairs

CFunny the way it is

 And if you Gthink about it

 SomeBmbody’s goin’ hungry

 And someone Felse is eatin’ out

CFunny the way it is

 Whether Gright or wrong

 Somebody’Bms heart is broken

 And it Fbecomes your favorite song

Bridge

AmThe way your mouth feels in your Glover’s kiss

 Like a pretty Embird on a breeze

 Or Fwater to a fish

 But a Ambomb blast brings the building Gcrashin’ to the floor

 Hear the Emlaughter while the Fchildren play war

Chorus

CFunny the way it is

 And if you Gthink about it

 One kid Bmwalks 10 miles to school

 While Fanother’s droppin’ out

CFunny the way it is

 No matter Gright or wrong

 On a soBmldier’s last breath

 His bFaby’s being born

Bridge

DmStandin’ on a bridgeC

 Watch the water Fpassin’ under Dmme

 It must have Cbeen much harder

When there was no bridge just water

DmNow the world is smaCll

 Remember how it uFsed to be

DmWith mountains, and oceans, and winters, and rivers and

Verse

AmWatch the sky the Gjet-planes

 So far out of my rEmeach

 But he Fcan’t stop trying

Chorus

CFunny the way it is

 And if you Gthink about it
