Funny The Way It Is

Dave Matthews Band

   Sun shine in the grass and the children play
   Siren’s passin’ fire engine’s red
   Someone’s house is burning down on a day like this
   
2. The evening comes and we’re hangin’ out
   On the front step and a car goes by with the windows rolled down
   And that war song is playin “why can’t we be friends?”
   Someone's screamin’ and cryin’ in the apartment upstairs

R1: Funny the way it is
    And if you think about it
    Somebody’s goin’ hungry
    And someone else is eatin’ out
    Funny the way it is
    Whether right or wrong
    Somebody’s heart is broken
    And it becomes your favorite song

3. The way your mouth feels in a lover’s kiss
   But a bomb blast brings the building crashin’ to the floor
   Hear the laughter while the children play war

R2: Funny the way it is
    And if you think about it
    One kid walks 10 miles to school
    While another’s droppin’ out
    Funny the way it is
    No matter right or wrong
    On a soldier’s last breath

*: 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..)
   
   With mountain, and oceans, and winter’s, and river’s and stars


4. Watch the sky the jetplanes so far out of my reach
   Is there someone up there lookin’ down on me?
   Boy chase a bird so close but everytime
   He never catch her but he *can’t stop trying 


R2: Funny the way it is...
   
R3: Funny the way it is
    No matter right or wrong
    Somebody’s broken heart
    And it becomes your favorite song
    Funny the way it is
    And if you think about it
    One kid walks 10 miles to school
    While another’s droppin’ out

*: Standin’ on a bridge...
