[Verse]
 Dm                Am
There's a problem, feathers iron

 Dm                Am
Bargain buildings, weights and pullies

 Dm                Am                Dm                  Am
Feathers hit the ground before the weight can leave the air

 Dm       G       C      Dm/F      Dm         C     G7
Buy the sky and sell the sky and tell the sky and tell the sky
[Chorus]
{walk}    C   Dm     F    G
  Don't fall      on me (What is it up in the air for) (It's gonna fall)
Fall on me (If it's there for long) (It's gonna fall)
                                 F        G   F  Fmaj7
        Fall      on me (It's over it's over me) (It's gonna fall)
[Verse]
Dm                   Am
There's the progress we have found       (when the rain)

Dm            Am
A way to talk around the problem         (when the children reign)

Dm               Am
Building towered foresight               (keep your conscience in the dark)

Dm                Am
isn't anything at all                    (melt the statues in the park)

 Dm       G       C      Dm/F     Dm           C     G7
Buy the sky and sell the sky and bleed the sky and tell the sky
[Chorus]
{walk}    C   Dm     F    G
  Don't fall      on me (What is it up in the air for) (It's gonna fall)
Fall on me (If it's there for long) (It's gonna fall)
                                 F        G   F  Fmaj7
        Fall      on me (It's over it's over me) (It's gonna fall)
[Bridge]
 Am                F            Am
      Well I could keep it above

            Em                 Am
But then it wouldn't be sky anymore

        F                            Dm                 G
So if I send it to you you've got to promise to keep it whole
[Verse]
 Dm      G       C       Dm/F     Dm         G      C      Dm/F
Buy the sky and sell the sky and lift your arms up to the sky

     Dm         C    G
And ask the sky and ask the sky
[Chorus]
{walk}    C   Dm     F    G
  Don't fall      on me (What is it up in the air for) (It's gonna fall)
Fall on me (If it's there for long) (It's gonna fall)
                                 F        G   F  Fmaj7
        Fall      on me (It's over it's over me) (It's gonna fall)

{walk}    C   Dm     F    G
  Don't fall      on me (What is it up in the air for) (It's gonna fall)
Fall on me (If it's there for long) (It's gonna fall)
                                 F        G   F  Fmaj7
        Fall      on me (It's over it's over me) (It's gonna fall)

{walk}    C   Dm     F    G
  Don't fall      on me (What is it up in the air for) (It's gonna fall)
Fall on me (If it's there for long) (It's gonna fall)
                                 F        G   F  Fmaj7
        Fall      on me (It's over it's over me) (It's gonna fall)...
