Verse 1
There’s traffic in the sky and it doesn’t seem to be getting much better
There’s kids playing games on the pavement
Drawing waves on the pavement Mmm hmm
Shadows of the planes on the pavement Mmm hmm
It’s enough to make me cry
But that don’t seem like it will make it feel better
Maybe it’s a dream and if I scream, it will burst at the seams
Whole place would fall into pieces
Chorus
(fill) A G# G A
And then they’d say Well how could we have known
(A) D Bm G
I’ll tell them it’s not so hard to tell Nah Nah Nah
(G) A D
You keep adding stones Soon the water will
(D) Bm G A (play octave B to D)
Be lost in the well Mmmm mmmmm
Verse 2 (same as above)
And puzzle pieces in the ground, No one ever seems to be digging
Instead they’re looking up towards the heavens
With their eyes on the heavens, Mmm hmmm
The shadows on the way to the heavens, Mmm hmm
It’s enough to make me cry
That don’t seem like it will make it feel better
The answers could be found, We could learn from digging down
But no one ever seems to be digging
Chorus (diff lyric - Instead they’ll say)
Verse 3
And words of wisdom all around, But no one ever seems to listen
They’re talking about the plans on the paper,
Building up from the pavement, Mmm hmm
The shadows from the scrapers on the pavement, Mmm hmm
It’s enough to make me sigh
But that don’t seem like it will make it feel better
The words are all around, But the words are only sounds
And no one ever seems to listen
Chorus (end on D)
