[F#m] [D]
[C] [G] [D]
There's traffic [F#m] in the sky and it [D] doesn't [C] seem to be [G] getting much better
There's [D] kids playing games on the pavement, [F#m] drawing waves on the [D] pavement
[C] [Gm] Shadows [G] of the planes on the pavement
[D] It's enough to [F#m] make me cry, [G] but that [C] don't seem like it will [Em] make it feel better
[F#] Maybe [D] it's a dream and if I [F#m] scream it will burst at the [G] seams
[C] The whole place would [G] fall into [Em] pieces and [D] then [A] they'd say
[G#]
[G] Well how could we [A] have known, I'll [D] tell them it's not so hard [Bm] to tell
[G] Nah nah nah, you keep adding [A] stones, soon the [D] water will be lost in [Bm] the well
[E]
[G] [A] [D]
Puzzle pieces [F#m] in the ground, [D]
[C] no one ever [D] seems to be [Em] digging
Instead [G] they're [D] looking up towards the [F#m] heavens with their eyes on the [G] heavens
[C] The [Em] shadows on the way to the [D] heavens
It's enough to [F#m] make me cry, [D] but that [C] don't seem like it will [Em] make it feel better
The [D] answers could be found, we could learn [F#m] from digging down
[C] But no one ever seems [Em] to be digging, [D] instead [A] they'll say
[G]
Well how could we have [A] known, I'll tell [D] them it's not so hard [Bm] to tell
[G] Nah nah nah, you keep [A] adding stones, soon [D] the water will be lost in [Bm] the well
[G]
Mmm, [A] [D]
and words of wisdom [F#m] all around, [D] but [C] no one ever [Em] seems to listen
They're [D] talking about the plans on the [F#m] paper building up from the [G] pavement
[C] The [Em] shadows from the scrapers on the [D] pavement
It's enough to [F#m] make me sigh, [C] but that don't seem like it will make [Em] it feel better
The words [D] are all around, but the words [F#m] are only sounds
[C] And no one ever [Em] seems to listen, instead [A] they'll say
[G]
Well how [A] could we have known, I'll tell [D] them it's not so hard [Bm] to tell
[G] Nah nah nah, you keep [A] adding stones, soon [D] the water will be [Bm] lost in the well
Lost [G] in the well
