[Intro]
D  F#m  C  Em
[Strophe]
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
[Pre-Refrain]
 
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
[Refrain]
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 
[Strophe]
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
[Pre-Refrain]
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
[Refrain]
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
[Strophe]
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
[Pre-Refrain]
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
[Refrain]
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
