Statues

G                   Am
I put it all on one last spin,
          C                   G
see I was hoping you might be lucky.
G                                   Am
I lost it all like the winter loses to the spring,
        B                     G
now I’m hoping that you might forgive me.

[Pre-Chorus]
    Am                                                  C                    D
I’m thinking to myself though we never had much else we always had something safe.
  Am                                             C                        D
I can’t understand as we made all these plans it felt like we needed more days.

[Chorus 1]
                 Am         C                  G
And the years go by and she takes each morning with her
      Am        C            G
Maybe time is a statue not a river.

[Verse 2]
       G                                                       Am
Well I drank away the last few years turned them into a single picture
             C                               G
Wish I could show you, but its fading by the hour
    G                                     Am
I’m trying to find a new man a new way of living
            C                        G
This one is giving me a heart attack

[Pre-Chorus]
            Am                                           C                        D
But there’s ghosts at every door looking through my mind trying to find things to destroy
        Am                                                   C                   D
And I’m sure its speeding up a decade to me now feels like a summer when I was a boy

[Chorus 2]
                 Am       C             G
And the years go by and I wait to be delivered,
      Am        C            G
Maybe time is a statue not a river.

[Bridge]
Am              C
Why were you so kind to me?
Am              C
Why were you so kind?
E7              Am
Why were you so kind to me?
E7               G
Why where you so kind?

[Chorus 3]
                  Am         C                G
As the years went by and the night is drawing closer
      Am        C               G
Maybe time is a heartbeat not a river
                 Am       C               G
And the years go by and I wish I could go with her
      Am        C            G
Maybe love is a statue not a river.
