Verse 1:
F# Ebm
I slowly started chipping
Bbm G#
away at this block of stone
F# Ebm
in an attempt to fashion a
Bbm
way to regain your attention
G# F#
why won't you hear me out?
Ebm
I started out with some paper
Bbm G#
and pen and my apologies
but every time I try
F# Ebm
to write to you
I just can never find
Bbm G#
the words to explain
Chorus 1:
C# Bbm
so I'll build a monument to honor you
C# Bbm
out of the ruins of the love I knew
C#
I'll turn your favorite memories
Bbm
into a sight for all to see
Ebm
because I know when you see
F#
it you'll come back to me

Verse 2:
F#
picked me up the phone and I
Ebm
started to dial your
Bbm G#
line from memory
too proud to ever
F# Ebm
let you pickup
close to the point
Bbm G#
where I should give up
you'll never call me back
F# Ebm
so now I'm doing something tangible
Bbm
I'm working with my hands
G# F#
because I can never seem to manage
Ebm Bbm
to say I'm sorry in a language
G#
you can comprehend
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Bridge:
Fm F#
I'll put it right
outside your window
Fm F#
so it's impossible to ignore
Fm F#
will that be good enough
Fm F# B
for you? (for you)
Fm F#
and even if you pulled
your shades down
Fm F#
and burn the statue
to the ground
Fm F#
it'll be enough to bring
F#
your warmth back to me
Chorus 2:
C#
a monument to honor you
out of the ruins of the love I knew
I'll turn your favorite memories
into a sight for all to see
Ebm
because I know when you see
F#
it you'll come back to me
Chorus 3:
C# Bbm
building a monument to honor you
C# Bbm
out of the ruins of the love I knew
C#
I'll turn your favorite memories
Bbm
into a sight for all to see

because I know when you see
F#
it you'll come back to me

come back to me
