Am                     G
Lyin' in the park on a beautiful day

     G                         F
Sun shine in the grass and the children play 

Am              G
Siren's passin' fire engine's red

           G                          F           G
Someone's house is burning down on a day like this 
[Verse]
     Am                     G
The evening comes and we're hangin' out 

       G                                     F 
On the front step and a car goes by with the windows rolled down 

       Am                             G
And that war song is playin why can’t we be friends

         G                              F                 G
Someone is screamin' and cryin' in the apartment upstairs

Somebody's goin' hungry someone else is eatin' out 

C                       G
Funny the way it is not right or wrong 

     Bm                      F                        G

[Verse]
Am                                G
The way your mouth feels in your lover's kiss 

               G                    F
Like a pretty bird on a breeze  Or water to a fish 

   Am                               G
A bomb blast, brings the building crashin' to the floor 

          G                   F                G
Hear the laughter, while the children play war

Funny the way it is not right or wrong

On a soldier's last breath his baby's being born

Standin' on a bridge watch the water passin' underneath

Watch the sky the jet-planes so far out of my reach

Is there someone up there lookin' down on me? 

    Am                  G
the Boy chase a bird so close but every time 

    G                     F                F   G
He never catch her but he can't stop trying
