TRAFFIC IN THE SKY
D F#m C Em
There's traffic in the sky and it doesn't seem to be getting much better
D F#m C
There's kids playing games on the pavement Drawing waves on the pavement mmmm-hmmm
Em D
Shadows of the planes on the pavement mmmm-hmmm
F#m C
It's enough to make me cry but that don't seem
Em
like it will make it feel better
D
Maybe it's a dream and if I scream
F#m
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, na-na-na
A D
You keep adding stones, soon the water will be
Bm G A
lost in the well, mmmm, mmmm
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 mmmm-hmmm
The shadows on the way to the heavens mmmm-hmmm
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, mmmm-hmmm
The shadows from the scrapers on the pavement mmmm-hmmm
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, na-na-na
You keep adding stones, soon the water will be
lost in the well..lost in the well mmmm mmmm mmmm
End on D
