E F#m C#m
There's a problem feathers iron
F#m C#m
Bargain buildings weights and pullies
F#m C#m F#m C#m
Feathers hit the ground before the weight can leave the air
F#m B E A F#m B7
Buy the sky and sell the sky and tell the sky and tell the sky
E F#m A B
Don't fall on me
E F#m A B
Fall on me
E F#m A B A G#m
Fall on me
F#m C#m
There's the progress we have found
F#m C#m
A way to talk around the problem
F#m C#m
Building towered foresight
F#m C#m
Isn't anything at all
F#m B E A F#m B7
Buy the sky and sell the sky and bleed the sky and tell the sky
E F#m A B
Don't fall on me
E F#m A B
Fall on me
E F#m A B A G#m
Fall on me
C#m A C#m
Well I could keep it above
B C#m
But then it wouldn't be sky anymore
A F#m B
So if I send it to you you've got to promise to keep it whole
F#m B E A F#m B E A
Buy the sky and sell the sky and lift your arms up to the sky
F#m B
And ask the sky and ask the sky
E F#m A B
Don't fall on me
E F#m A B
Fall on me
E F#m A B A G#m
Fall on me
E F#m A B repeat and fade
