[D]
[F#m] [G] [C]
[G] [D]
There's [G] traffic in the [F#m] sky and it [Gm] 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 [G] pavement
[C]
[G] Shadows of the planes on the [D] pavement
It's enough to make me cry, but [C] that don't seem like it will [Em] make you feel better
[G] Maybe [D] it's a dream and if I [F#m] scream it will burst at the [G] seams
[C] 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
[D] Swarm the waterway, we lost in [Bm] the well
[G] Hmm
[A] [D]
Puzzle pieces in the [F#m] ground
[G] [C] No one ever seems [D] to be [Em] digging
[G] Instead they're [D] looking up towards the heavens with [F#m] their eyes on the [C] heavens
The [Em] shadows on the [G] way to the [D] heavens
It's enough [F#m] to make me cry
[C] That don't seem like it will [Em] make you feel better.
The answers could [D] be found.
We could learn from [F#m] digging down
[C] But no one ever seems [Em] to be digging
[F#m] Instead [A] they'll say
Well, [G#] [G]
how [A] could we have known?
I'll tell [D] them it's not so [Bm] hard to tell
[G] Nah, nah, nah
You keep [D] adding [A] stones
Swarm [D] the waterway, we [Bm] lost in the well
[G]
Hmm
[A] [D] Words of wisdom all around
[C] But no one ever [G] seems to listen.
They're [D] talking about plans on the people [F#m] building up from the [C] pavement
The [Em] shadows from the scrapers on the [D] pavement
It's enough [F#m] to make me sigh
[C] That don't seem like it will make [G] you 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 [G] instead [A] they'll say
[G#] [G]
Well, how [A] could we have known?
I'll tell [D] them it's really not so [Bm] hard to tell [G] Nah, nah
You keep [A] adding stones
Swarm [D] the waterway, we lost [Bm] in the well
[G] lost in the well
[A] [D]
