Traffic in the Sky, performed by Jack Johnson
D F#m
There's traffic in the sky and it doesn't
C Em
seem to be getting much better
D F#m
There's kids playing games on the pavement Drawing waves on the
C
pavement Mmm hmm
Em D
Shadows of the planes on the pavement Mmm hmm
F#m
It's enough to make me cry
C Em
But that don't seem 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#
And then they'd say
G A
Well how could we have known
D
I'll tell them it's not so hard to
Bm
Tell
G
Nah nah nah
A
You keep adding stones
D
Soon the water will
Bm
Be lost in the well
G A
Mmmm mmmm
Verse (same as above)
D F#m
And puzzle pieces in the ground
C Em
No one ever seems to be digging
D
Instead they're looking up towards the heavens
F#m C
With their eyes on the heavens Mmm hmmm
Em D
The shadows on the way to the heavens Mmm hmm
F#m
It's enough to make me cry
C Em
That don't seem like it will make it feel better
D
The answers could be found
F#m
We could learn from digging down
C Em
But no one ever seems to be digging
A G#
Instead they'll say
G A
Well how could we have known
D Bm
I'll tell them it's not so hard to tell
G
Nah nah nah
A
You keep adding stones
D
Soon the water will
Bm G A
Be lost in the well Mmmm mmmm
D F#m
And words of wisdom all around
C Em
But no one ever seems to listen
D
They're talking about the plans on the paper
F#m
Building up from the pavement
C
Mmm hmm
Em
The shadows from the scrapers on the pavement
Mmm hmm
D F#m
It's enough to make me sigh
C Em
But that don't seem like it will make it feel better
D
The words are all around
F#m
But the words are only sounds
C Em
And no one ever seems to listen
A G#
Instead they'll say
G A
Well how could we have known
D Bm
I'll tell them it's really not so hard to tell
G
Nah nah nah
A
You keep adding stones
D
Soon the water will
Bm
Be lost in the well
G
Lost in the well
A
Mmmm mmmm mmmm (end on D)
