The Mason

Eb   Ab

[Verse 1]
Eb   Ab         Eb
I    held on so long
Ab           Eb
To what I've wanted
Ab     Eb      Ab
You to become

[Verse 2]
Eb         Ab      Eb
I see that you are not
Ab                    Eb
What I dreamed you to be
       Ab       Eb
That's not your fault

[Chorus]
            Ab                Eb
See, long a-go, I made up my mind
          Ab                Eb
She would be the love of my life
      Ab               Cm
Now I see ignorance is bliss
               Bb                      Cm
See, I fell in love with an idea in my head
       Ab          Eb  Ab
That's not who she is

Eb Ab

[Verse 3]
     Eb     Ab     Eb
See, I,   I take a thought
Continues after the ad
         Ab     Eb                        Ab          Eb       Ab
And I'll let it grow 'til underneath it's weight I am caught
     Eb    Ab        Eb         Ab            Eb
When all I saw was a glimpse of who you might be
  Ab              Eb
I laid down these bricks

[Chorus]
         Ab                   Eb
Building walls, so lovely and strong
           Ab                  Eb
There's no way, no chance I am wrong
           Ab                                   Cm
Our castle stands, and I know just where she'll fit
               Bb                               Cm
She'll be with me here in my arms, I'm crazy in love
     Ab              Eb
With who I think she is

Cm Bb Eb Ab
Cm Bb Eb Ab

[Bridge]
Cm                  Bb
   When I finally      get to see you
Eb                  Ab
   I latch onto the hope I see in you
Cm
   And I won't let go
Bb                         Eb                            Ab
   I'll say look there's a chance what I hoped for might actually be so
Cm              Bb
   But I cannot    justify this
Eb                      Ab
   Small suspicion that slowly is creeping in
Cm                 Bb
   That our castle    walls are shaking
Eb                        Ab          Bb
   I fight the fact maybe I was mista-ken

[Verse 4]
    Eb   Ab          Eb
And I    hate when I knew
     Ab          Eb                        Ab           Eb    Ab
That nothing was real in all that I had be-lieved to be true
        Eb         Ab        Eb
And the walls came crumbling down
    Ab          Eb                          Ab          Eb
And all I could think was where is all that wasted time now

[Chorus]
            Ab               Eb
See, long a-go, I made up my mind
          Ab                Eb
She would be the love of my life
      Ab                              Cm
Now I see I never really knew her one bit
               Bb                      Cm
See, I fell in love with an idea in my head
         Ab          Eb
But that's not who she is
           Ab          Eb
No, that's not who she is
       Ab          Eb
That's not who she is
