Statues

Dm              Am
So goodnight my dear
            Bb
Hope you're feeling well
             F            G
Hope your're feeling very clear
Dm               Am
In this song and rhyme
            Bb
Thoughts of changes that
        F            G
Keep ourselves intact


    Dm                Am
And yes, it's hard to fake
        Bb
but I'm faltering
       F                  G
In the steps I'm about to take
Dm             Am
I am sure it's true
        Bb            F                G
What is all for me is much the same to you


Dm                           Am
   If all the statues in the world
                                  Bb
Would turn to flesh with teeth of pearl
                             F           G
Would they be kind enough to comfort me
Dm                           Am
   The setting sun is set in stone
                      Bb
And it remains for me alone
                    F            G
To carve my own and set it free


[Instrumental]
Dm Am Bb F G


Dm             Am
So we wait and see
         Bb
How this backward chapter reads
   F                G
In verse inadvertently
Dm                       Am
And it feels like fading light
           Bb
But that's all that's left
F                   G
Only what's left is right


Dm                           Am
   If all the statues in the world
                                  Bb
Would turn to flesh with teeth of pearl
                             F           G
Would they be kind enough to comfort me
Dm                           Am
   The setting sun is set in stone
                      Bb
And it remains for me alone
                    F            G
To carve my own and set it free


[Spoken Verse]
Dm
Jumping from a balloon
          Am
A carried aloft by a parachute in June
Bb
Twisting round and round
       F        G
Well I hope the ground is what you find


Dm                           Am
   The setting sun is set in stone
                      Bb
And it remains for me alone
                    F            G
To carve my own and set it free
