D D                      F#m F#m
There?s traffic in the sky
C C Em Em
And it doesn't seem to be getting much better
D D
There?s kids playing games on the pavement
F#m F#m C C
Drawing waves on the pavement mm-hm
Em Em D D
Shadows of the planes on the pavement mm-hm
F#m F#m
It's enough to make me cry
C C Em Em
But that don't seem like it would make it feel better
D D
Maybe it's a dream and if I scream
F#m F#m
It will burst at the seams
C C Em Em
This whole place will fall into pieces
A A G# G#
And then they'd say

G G A A
Well how could we have known
D D Bm Bm
I'll tell them it's not so hard to tell
G G
Nah nah nah
A A
You keep adding stones
D D
Soon the water will
Bm Bm
Be lost in the well
G G A A
Mmmm mmmm

D D F#m F#m
Puzzle pieces in the ground
C C Em Em
But no one ever seems to be digging
D D F#m F#m
Instead they're looking up towards the heavens with their eyes on the heavens

C C Em Em
Shadows on the way to the heavens
D D F#m F#m
It's enough to make me cry
C C Em Em
But that don't seem like it would make it feel better
D D F#m F#m
The answers could be found we could learn from digging down
C C Em Em
But no one ever seems to be digging
A A G# G#
Instead they?ll say

G G A A
Well how could we have known
D D Bm Bm
I'll tell them it's not so hard to tell
G G
Nah nah nah
A A
You keep adding stones
D D
Soon the water will
Bm Bm
Be lost in the well

G G A A
Mmmm mmmm

D D F#m F#m
Words of wisdom all around
C C Em Em
But no one ever seems to listen
D D
They?re talking about their plans on the paper
F#m F#m
Building up from the pavement
C C Em Em
Shadows from the scrapers on the pavement
D D F#m F#m
It?s enough to make me sigh
C C Em Em
But that don?t seem like it would make it feel better
D D F#m F#m
The words are all around but the words are only sounds
C C Em Em
And no one ever seems to listen
A A G# G#
Instead they?ll say

G G A A
Well how could we have known
D D Bm Bm
I'll tell them it's not so hard to tell
G G
Nah nah nah
A A
You keep adding stones
D D
Soon the water will
Bm Bm G G A A D D
Be lost in the well
