Standard (EADGBE)

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

 And then they'd say

Well how could we have known

 I'll tell them it's not so hard to

Tell

 Nah nah nah

 You keep adding stones

 Soon the water will

 Be lost in the well

Mmmm mmmm

Verse

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

Instead they'll say

Well how could we have known

I'll tell them it's not so hard to tell

Nah nah nah

You keep adding stones

Soon the water will

Be lost in the well

Mmmm mmmm

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

Instead they'll say

Well how could we have known

I'll tell them it's really not so hard to tell

Nah nah nah

You keep adding stones

Soon the water will

Be lost in the well

Lost in the well

Mmmm mmmm mmmm (end on D)
