Lyrics and chords:
Intro: D, F#m, C, Em
[D] Theres traffic in the [F#m]sky
And it doesn't [C]seem to be getting much [Em]better
Theres kids playing [D]games on the pavement
Drawing [F#m]waves on the pavement mm-[C]hm
Shadows of the [Em]planes on the pavement mm-[D]hm
It's enough to make me [F#m]cry
But that don't [C]seem like it would make it feel [Em]better
Maybe it's a [D]dream and if i scream
It will [F#m]burst at the seams
This [C]whole place will fall into [Em]pieces
And then they'd [A]say[G#]
[G] Well how could we have [A]known
I'll tell them it's not[D] so hard to [Bm]tell
Nah nah [G]nah
You keep adding [A]stones
Soon the water [D]will
Be lost in the [Bm]well
[G] [A]
[Mmmm] [mmmm]
[D] Puzzle pieces in the [F#m]ground
But [C]no one ever seems to be [Em]digging
Instead they're looking [D]up towards the heavens with their [F#m]eyes on the
heavens
[C] Shadows on the way to the heavens[Em]
[D] It's enough to make me [F#m]cry
But that don't [C]seem like it would make it feel [Em]better
The answers could be [D]found we could learn from digging [F#m]down
But [C]no one ever seems to be [Em]digging
Instead theyll [A]say[G#]
[G] Well how could we have [A]known
I'll tell them it's not[D] so hard to [Bm]tell
Nah nah [G]nah
You keep adding [A]stones
Soon the water [D]will
Be lost in the [Bm]well
[G] [A]
[Mmmm] [mmmm]
[D] Words of wisdom all [F#m]around
But [C]no one ever seems to [Em]listen
Theyre talking about their [D]plans on the paper
Building [F#m]up from the pavement
[C] Shadows from the scr*pers on the [Em]pavement
[D] Its enough to make me [F#m]sigh
But that dont [C]seem like it would make it feel [Em]better
The words are all a[D]round but the words are only [F#m]sounds
And [C]no one ever seems to [Em]listen
Instead theyll [A]say[G#]
[G] Well how could we have [A]known
I'll tell them it's not[D] so hard to [Bm]tell
Nah nah [G]nah
You keep adding [A]stones
Soon the water [D]will
Be lost in the [Bm]well
