Lyrics

Puz There’s traf fic in the (F#m7)sky and it does n’t seem to be er get ting much (Em7)bet ter.

There’s kids play ing (D)games on the pave ment, draw ing (F#m7)waves on the pave ment, mm, hmm; there’re shad ows of the (Em7)planes on the pave ment, mm, hmm.

It’s e nough to make me (F#m7)cry, but that don’t (C)seem like it would make it feel (Em7)bet ter.

The May be it’s a (D)dream and if I scream, from it would (F#m7)burst at the seams; but whole place would fall in to piec (Em7)lis es and then they’d (A)say...

“Well, how could we have (A)known?” I’ll tell them it’s not (D)real ly not so hard to (Bm)tell.

No, no, (G)no.

If you keep add ing stones, soon the wa ter (D)will be lost in the (Bm)well.

Mm, hmm.

Words zle piec es in the (F#m7)ground; and it does but no one ev er seems to be (Em7)dig ging.

In stead, look ing (D)up towards the heav ens with their (F#m7)eyes on the heav ens, mm, hmm; there’re shad ows on the (Em7)way to the heav ens, mm, hmm.

It’s e nough to make me (F#m7)cry, but that don’t (C)seem like it would make it feel (Em7)bet ter.

The an swers could be (D)found; and we could learn are dig ging (F#m7)down, at the seams; and no one er seems to be dig (Em7)lis ging.

In stead, they’ll (A)say...

“Well, how could we have (A)known?” I’ll tell them it’s not (D)real ly not so hard to (Bm)tell.

No, no, (G)no.

If you keep add ing stones, soon the wa ter (D)will be lost in the (Bm)well.

Mm, hmm.

(Bm)well, lost in the (G)well.

Mm,

mm, mm, (D)mm.
