D                                  F#m                      C        Em
   There’s traffic in the sky and it doesn’t seem to be getting much better 
                     D                             F#m
There’s kids playing games on the pavement drawing waves on the pavement 
           C           Em
Mmm hmm Shadows of the planes on the pavement 
    D                       F#m
Mmm hmm it’s enough to make me cry
         C                                    Em
But that don’t seem like it will make it feel better
             D                                          F#m
Maybe it’s a dream and if I scream it will burst at the seams
C                           Em
Whole place would fall into pieces


                A     G#    G                               A
And then they’d say                 well how could we have known
                   D               Bm                  G
I’ll tell them it’s not so hard to tell        Nah nah nah
                A                     D                   A     G#   G       A
You keep adding stones soon the water will be lost in the well      mmmm mmmm


D                           F#m           C                       Em
   And puzzle pieces in the ground        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
Mmm hmmm the shadows on the way to the heavens
         D                    F#m                C                              Em
Mmm hmm    it’s enough to make me cry that don’t seem like it will 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#    G                         A
Instead they’ll say             well how could we have known
                    D              Bm                 G
I’ll tell them it’s not so hard to tell       Nah nah nah
                A                     D                   A     G#   G         A
You keep adding stones soon the water will be lost in the well      mmmm mmmm


D                           F#m       C                      Em
   And words of wisdom all around but no one ever seems to listen
                          D                           F#m                      C
They’re talking about the plans on the paper building up from the pavement mmm hmm
                     Em                                D
The shadows from the scrapers on the pavement      mmm hmm
F#m                 C                                                     Em
It’s enough to make me sigh but that don’t seem like it will make it feel better
                  D                             F#m        C                    Em
The words are all around but the words are only sounds and no one ever seems to listen


                A     G#    G                         A
Instead they’ll say            well how could we have known
                    D              Bm                G
I’ll tell them it’s not so hard to tell      Nah nah nah
                A                     D                   Bm  
You keep adding stones soon the water will be lost in the well
               G            A          D
   lost in the well  mmmm   mmmm mmmm
