Am
You're just the statue
F
Of the boy I used to know
C
You're just a tattoo
G
Of the words that we once spoke
Am
You're the dry river
F
Where the love used to flow
C
But it still runs through me
G
With you it had to go
Dm F C G
But if you take this back I'll be waiting to come alive, come alive
Dm F C G
If you turn your back I'll be waiting to fly
Am
But you're like the falling leaves
F
Whilst I'm still the oak tree
C
'Cause you're the one to leave
G
Now I'm falling asleep
Am
You're like the broken keys
F
Whilst I'm just a broken home
C
Cause as I breathe in deep you're looking at me
G
Like a statue of the boy I used to know
Am
You're just a lighter
F
With no fuel to light our flame
C
You know I'd fight for this
G
But you wouldn't do the same
Am
'Cause you're just a diary
F
With a blank and empty page
C
But the story we wrote
G
I can't quite erase
Dm F C G
But if you take this back I'll be waiting to come alive, come alive
Dm F C G
If you turn your back I'll be waiting to fly
Am
But you're like the falling leaves
F
Whilst I'm still the oak tree
C
'Cause you're the one to leave
G
Now I'm falling asleep
Am
You're like the broken keys
F
Whilst I'm just a broken home
C
Cause as I breathe in deep you're looking at me
G
Like a statue of the boy I used to know
Dm
I'll watch you fall to the ground
F
'Cause there's just stone in your eyes now
C
We had it all, till we were found
G
We're just living these lies now
Am
But you're like the falling leaves
F
Whilst I'm still the oak tree
C
'Cause you're the one to leave
G
Now I'm falling asleep
Am
You're like the broken keys
F
Whilst I'm just a broken home
C
And as I breathe in deep as I watch you leave
G
You're a statue of the boy I used to know
