Statues

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

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

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

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

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

[Chorus 2]
                 Am       C       
And the years go by and I wait to 
      G
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    
As the years went by and the night
            G
 is drawing closer
      Am        C             
Maybe time is a heartbeat not a 
  G
river
                 Am       C    
And the years go by and I wish I 
           G
could go with her
      Am        C            G
Maybe love is a statue not a river.
