Lyrics and chords:


Intro: D, F#m, C, Em


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


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

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

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


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


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


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