Chords for Dave Matthews Band - Funny The Way It Is (Lyrics)

[Am] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ [F] _ _ [Em] _
[Am] Lying in my park [G] on a beautiful day, sunshine in the [C] grass [F] and my children [Am] play
Sirens passing, [G] fire engine red, someone's house is burning down [F] on a day like [Am] this
The evening comes, I wear [G] aign out on the front step and the car goes by with [F] the windows [Am] rolled down
And that war song is [G] playing, why can't we be friends?
Someone is screaming and crying in [F] the apartment [G] upstairs
[C] Funny the way it is, [G] if you think about it
Somebody's going hungry and [F] someone else is eating [Em] out
[C] Funny the way it is, [G] not right or wrong
Somebody's heart is brutal and [F] it becomes your favorite _ song
_ [D] _ [Am] _ [F] _ [G] _
[Am] _ _ _ _ The way your mouth feels [G] when your lover's kissed like a pretty bird on a leaf
[F] Or water to a [G] fish, [Am] the phone blast [G] brings the building crashing to the floor
I hear the laughter while the [F] children play [G] war
[C] Funny the way it is, if you [G] think about it
You can't [Bm] watch them out of school, [F] the mother's dropping [Em] out
[C] Funny the way it is, not [G] right or [Bm] wrong
All the soldiers last breath, [F] the babies being _ born _
_ [D] [E] Standing [F] _ [G] _ [Dm] _ on [Bb] a [Gm] bridge, [C] watching water [Dm] passing underneath
It must [Bb] have been [G] much harder when there was no bridge
Just [D] wanna [Bb] follow where the smoke, [C] remember how [F] it used [Am] to be
[Dm] With mountains and [Bb] oceans [C] and winters and rivers [G] and stars _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ Sky a jet plane [G] so far out of my reach
Is there someone up there [F] looking down on me?
[Am] Your heart tastes of [G] bird, so close but every time
You'll never catch her, [F] but it can't stop the shine
_ [G] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
Funny _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[G] _ [C] the way it is, if you [G] think about it
You can't watch them out of school, [F] the mother's dropping [G] out
[C] Funny the way it is, not [G] right or wrong
All the soldiers last breath, [F] the babies being [G] born
[C] Funny the way it is, if you [G] think about it
It's so hard, it's broken heart, [F] become your favorite [C] song
Funny the way it is, [G] if you think about it
You can't watch them out of school, [F] the mother's dropping _ _ out
_ [D] _ [Am] _ [F] _ [G] _
[Dm] _ Standing [Bb] on a bridge, [C] watching [F] water [Dm] passing underneath
It [Bb] must have been much [C] harder when there [G] was no bridge
Just wanna [Dm] follow [Gm] where the smoke, remember [C] [F] how it [Em] used to be
With [Dm] mountains [Bb] and oceans and [G] winters and rivers and stars
