VERSE1
                 D
A funny thing to do,
                 G
Is everyone like you,
              G/F#   Em
'Cause people seldom change,
                  A7
All just stay the same.
                 D
A funny thing to say,
                         G
Suppose you're just that way,
                G/F#        Em
Although you're sure you're sure,
                   A7
There really is no cure.
 
 
CHORUS
                Dadd9
A funny kind of way,
                D7add9
A funny kind of day,
                     G
You're funny all the time,
              G/F#     Em
Do you want a piece of mine.
                    D
'Cause I've seen it all before,
                       A
When you're closing all the doors,
                  D       G     D
It's not funny any more.
 
 
VERSE2
A                D
A funny thing to do,
                    G
Because the sky was blue,
        G/F#     Em
You ran away for good,
                   A7
'Cause no one understood.
                     D
The funny things you said,
                    G
Because the sky was red,
            G/F#    Em
It all went to your head,
                    A7
Because the sky was red.
 
CHORUS - Repeat
 
CHORUS - Repeat
 
VERSE3
                 D
A funny thing to do,
                 G
Is everyone like you,
              G/F#   Em
'Cause people seldom change,
                       A7     D
They all just stay the same.
