Funny the Way It Is Dave Matthews Band
Beautiful song! music, lyrics...everything!
After reading the other tabs on this song I was kind of dissapointed,
I was going to comment with the corrections, but there were more than
I expected, small ones off course, but yet important. I just hope that
the chords are in the right spot! Enjoy!

Someone's h[G]ouse is burning down on a d[F]ay like thi[(G)]s
Verse:
The e[Am]vening comes And we're h[G]angin' out
On the fron[G]t step And a car goes by with the [F]windows rolled down

Verse:
[Am]The way your mouth feels in your l[G]over's kiss
Like a pretty b[G]ird on a breeze Or w[F]ater to a fish

Hear the l[G]aughter, while the c[F]hildren play war[(G)]

One kid [Bm]walks 10 miles to school While an[F]other's droppin' out [(G)]

On a s[Bm]oldier's last breath His [F]baby's being born
