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

 Dm       G      C        Dm/F
Buy the sky and sell the sky
     Dm          C    G7
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?)
Fall on me
(If it's there for long)
Fall on me
(It's over, it's over me)

There’s the progress we have found
(When the rain)
A way to talk around the problem
(When the children reign)
Building towered foresight
(Keep your conscience in the dark)
Isn’t anything at all
(Melt the statues in the park)

Buy the sky and sell the sky
And bleed the sky and tell the sky

Chorus

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

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