Tom: Em

                Em
You’re just the statue
                     C
Of the boy I used to know
              G
You’re just a tattoo
                          D
Of the words that we once spoke
               Em
You’re the dry river
                        C
Where the love used to flow
                  G
But it still runs through me
                   D
With you it had to go

           Am                     C          G            D
But if you take this back I’ll be waiting to come alive, come alive
       Am                     C          G     D
If you turn your back I’ll be waiting to fly

    Em
But you’re like the falling leaves
C
Whilst I’m still the oak tree
G
‘Cause you’re the one to leave
D
Now I’m falling asleep
Em
You’re like the broken keys
C
Whilst I’m just a broken home
G
Cause as I breathe in deep you’re looking at me
D
Like a statue of the boy I used to know

              Em
You’re just a lighter
                                C
With no fuel to light our flame
             G
You know I’d fight for this
                        D
But you wouldn't do the same
                      Em
‘Cause you’re just a diary
                           C
With a blank and empty page
        G
But the story we wrote
              D
I can’t quite erase

           Am                     C          G            D
But if you take this back I’ll be waiting to come alive, come alive
       Am                     C          G     D
If you turn your back I’ll be waiting to fly

    Em
But you’re like the falling leaves
C
Whilst I’m still the oak tree
G
‘Cause you’re the one to leave
D
Now I’m falling asleep
Em
You’re like the broken keys
C
Whilst I’m just a broken home
G
Cause as I breathe in deep you’re looking at me
D
Like a statue of the boy I used to know

Am
I’ll watch you fall to the ground
C
‘Cause there’s just stone in your eyes now
G
We had it all, till we were found
D
We’re just living these lies now

    Em
But you’re like the falling leaves
C
Whilst I’m still the oak tree
G
‘Cause you’re the one to leave
D
Now I’m falling asleep
Em
You’re like the broken keys
C
Whilst I’m just a broken home
G
And as I breathe in deep as I watch you leave
D
You're a statue of the boy I used to know
