[G] [D] Well, I think it's [G] fine [D] building jumbo [G] planes
And [D] taking a [G] ride on [D] a cosmic [G] train
Switch [D]
on summer [G] from [D] a slot machine
[G] Get
[D] what you want, [G] if you want, you can get [D] anything
[G] [Em]
I know [A] we've come a long way
[Em] We're changing [A] day to day
[Em] But tell [A] me, why do the children [D] play?
[G]
[D] [G] Well,
[D] [G]
[D] [G]
[D] you roll on roads [G]
over [D] fresh green [G] grass
For [D] your lorry loads [G]
[D] pumping petrol gas
[G]
And [D] you make them long, [G]
[D] and you make them [G] tough
[C] But they just go on and [Em] on
And it seems [C] that you can't get [G] off
[Em] I know [A] we've come a long [Em] way
We're changing [A] day to [Em] day
But tell [A] me, why do the children [D] play?

[D] you crack the sky, [G] [D] scrape or spill the air
[G] But [D] will you keep on [G] building higher
Till there's no [D] more room up there?
[G] Will [C] you make us laugh?
[G] Will [C] you make us cry?
[G] Will [C] you tell us when [G] to live?
Will you tell [C] us when to [Em] die?
I know [A] we've come a long way
[Em] We're changing [A] day to day
[Em] But tell me, [A] why do the children [D] play?
