Funny the Way It Is Dave Matthews Band
This is the version as I heard it. It may not be perfect, I know there's a chord
when they say "stars" in the bridge, but I can't figure it out. Perhaps A or A7 I
am not sure b/c of the harmony. Play with and see what you think.

Intro/Verse: Am - G - G - F
[Am]Lyin? in the park
[G]On a beautiful day
[G]Sun shine in the grass and the child[F]ren play
[Am]Siren?s passin?
[G]Fire engine's red
[G]Someone?s house is burning down on a da[F]y like this
The eve[Am]ning comes
And we?re han[G]gin? out
[G]On the front step
And a car goes by with the wind[F]ows rolled down
And that w[Am]ar song is playin ?why can?t we[G] be friends??
Someon[G]e's screamin? and cryin? in the apa[F]rtment upstairs
Chorus: C-G-Bm-F
[C]Funny the way it is
And if yo[G]u think about it
Somebo[Bm]dy?s goin? hungry
And someone e[F]lse is eatin? out
[C]Funny the way it is
Whether rig[G]ht or wrong
Somebo[Bm]dy?s heart is broken
And it becom[F]es your favorite song

Verse:
[Am]The way your mouth feels in your love[G]r?s kiss
L[G]ike a pretty bird on a breeze
Or water [F]to a fish
But a b[Am]omb blast brings the building cra[G]shin? to the floor
[G]Hear the laughter while the chi[F]ldren play war
Chorus:
[C]Funny the way it is
And if yo[G]u think about it
One kid wa[Bm]lks 10 miles to school
While anot[F]her?s droppin? out
[C]Funny the way it is
No matter ri[G]ght or wrong
On a so[Bm]ldier?s last breath
His b[F]aby?s being born

Standin? on a bridge
Watch the water passin? under me
It must have been much harder
When there was no bridge just water
Now the world is small
Remember how it used to be
With mountains, and oceans, and winters, and rivers and stars
Fill: Am G G F x2
Verse:
[Am]Watch the sky the jet-planes
So f[G]ar out of my reach
[G]Is there someone up there lookin? do[F]wn on me?
[Am]Boy chase a bird
So cl[G]ose but every time
[G]He never catch her
But he ca[F]n?t stop trying
Chorus:
[C]Funny the way it is
And if you th[G]ink about it
One kid w[Bm]alks 10 miles to school
While ano[F]ther?s droppin? out
[C]Funny the way it is
No matter ri[G]ght or wrong
On a sol[Bm]dier?s last breath
His ba[F]by?s being born
[C]Funny the way it is
No matter ri[G]ght or wrong
Someb[Bm]ody?s broken heart
And it beco[F]mes your favorite song
[G]Funny the way it is
And if you th[G]ink about it
One kid w[Bm]alks 10 miles to school
While ano[F]ther?s droppin? out
