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
