G Am
You’re just the statue
C G
Of the boy I used to know
G Am
You’re just a tattoo
C G
Of the words that we once spoke
Am
You’re the dry river
C G
Where the love used to flow
F
But it still runs through me
C 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 C
But you’re like the falling leaves
F G
Whilst I’m still the oak tree
Am C
‘Cause you’re the one to leave
F G
Now I’m falling asleep
Am C
You’re like the broken keys
F G
Whilst I’m just a broken home
Am F
Cause as I breathe in deep you’re looking at me
C G Am
Like a statue of the boy I used to know
G Am
You’re just a lighter
C G
With no fuel to light our flame
Am
You know I’d fight for this

C G
But you wouldn't do the same
Am
‘Cause you’re just a diary
C G
With a blank and empty page
F
But the story we wrote
C 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 C
But you’re like the falling leaves
F G
Whilst I’m still the oak tree
Am C
‘Cause you’re the one to leave
F G
Now I’m falling asleep
Am C
You’re like the broken keys
F G
Whilst I’m just a broken home
Am F
Cause as I breathe in deep you’re looking at me
C G Am
Like a statue of the boy I used to know
C G
I’ll watch you fall to the ground
G
‘Cause there’s just stone in your eyes now
C G
We had it all, till we were found
G
We’re just living these lies now
Am C
But you’re like the falling leaves
F G
Whilst I’m still the oak tree
Am C
‘Cause you’re the one to leave
F G
Now I’m falling asleep
Am C
You’re like the broken keys
F G
Whilst I’m just a broken home
Am F
Cause as I breathe in deep you’re looking at me
C G Am
Like a statue of the boy I used to know
