Tom: Em
G Am
I put it all on one last spin,
C G
see I was hoping you might be lucky.
G Am
I lost it all like the winter loses to the spring,
B G
now I’m hoping that you might forgive me.
[Pre-Chorus]
Am C D
I’m thinking to myself though we never had much else we always had something safe.
Am C D
I can’t understand as we made all these plans it felt like we needed more days.
[Chorus 1]
Am C G
And the years go by and she takes each morning with her
Am C G
Maybe time is a statue not a river.
[Verse 2]
G Am
Well I drank away the last few years turned them into a single picture
C G
Wish I could show you, but its fading by the hour
G Am
I’m trying to find a new man a new way of living
C G
This one is giving me a heart attack
[Pre-Chorus]
Am C D
But there’s ghosts at every door looking through my mind trying to find things to destroy
Am C D
And I’m sure its speeding up a decade to me now feels like a summer when I was a boy
[Chorus 2]
Am C G
And the years go by and I wait to 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 G
As the years went by and the night is drawing closer
Am C G
Maybe time is a heartbeat not a river
Am C G
And the years go by and I wish I could go with her
Am C G
Maybe love is a statue not a river.
