Dm                   Am
There's the problem, feathers, iron
Dm                 Am
Bargain buildings, weights and pulleys
Dm               Am
Feathers hit the ground
           Dm                   Am
Before the weight can leave the air

Dm        G      C         F
Buy the sky and sell the sky
     Dm                G
And tell the sky, and tell the sky

Chorus:
       C   Dm  F G
Don't fall on me
(What is it up in the air for?)
 C   Dm  F G
Fall on me
(If it's there for long)
 C   Dm  F G  F Am
Fall on me
(It's over, it's over me)

There's the progress
We have found a way to talk around the problem
Building towers
Foresight isn't anything at all

Buy the sky and sell the sky
Bleed the sky, tell the sky

Chorus:
Don't fall on me (What is it up in the air for?)
Fall on me (If it's there for long)
Fall on me (It's over, it's over me)
Fall on me

                F            Am
Well, I would keep it above
             Em                 Am
But then it wouldn't be sky anymore
          F
So, if I send it to you
               Dm                 G
You've got to promise to keep it home

Buy the sky and sell the sky
And lift your arms up to the sky
And ask the sky, ask the sky

Chorus:
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)
Fall on me
(It's over, it's over me) (It’s gonna fall)
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)
Fall on me
(It's over, it's over me) (It’s gonna fall)
Fall on me
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)
Fall on me
(It's over, it's over me) (It’s gonna fall)
Fall on me
