You

Can’t

Be 

Anything

When

You’re 

Nothing

But

Nice

I don’t know quite what I want,
But one thing I’ve got,
Is a good idea of what I’m not.

I’m not lost

I’m just finding

My way 

In the world

Do you ever, do you ever, do you wonder?

Do you wonder where your dreams go?

Do you feel like you’re going under?

Under it all?

Fizzing nights with cheap champagne

Kissing strangers without names

The world began in 1994

You’ll be you and I’ll be me

The rest is still a mystery

The only thing we really know for sure is

We’ll Be Back For More

‘friend’ ends in ‘end‘ and ‘love’ is almost ‘lose’

we all cried over someone

got drunk and lied to our mums

when we were 2 worlds away

of who we are today

and it’s alright feeling like you’ve

nothing left inside to prove

cause we’re always two worlds away

of who we’ll be one day

We’re always two worlds away of who we’ll be one day

Statues (lyrics & chords)

Am F C G (play the C chord triad above these if on piano)

You’re just the statue

Of the boy I used to know
You’re just a tattoo
Of the words that we once spoke

You’re the dry river
Where the love used to flow
But it still runs through me
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
If you turn your back I’ll be waiting to fly

Am F C G (play the C chord triad above these if on piano)

But you’re like the falling leaves
Whilst I’m still the oak tree
‘Cause you’re the one to leave
Now I’m falling asleep   

You’re like the broken keys
Whilst I’m just a broken home
Cause as I breathe in deep you’re looking at me
Like a statue of the boy I used to know

You’re just a lighter
With no fuel to light our flame
You know I’d fight for this
But you wouldn’t do the same

‘Cause you’re just a diary
With a blank and empty page
But the story we wrote
I can’t quite erase

Dm F C  G

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

Am F C G (play the C chord triad above these if on piano)

But you’re like the falling leaves
Whilst I’m still the oak tree
‘Cause you’re the one that leaves
Now I’m falling asleep

You’re like the broken keys
Whilst I’m just a broken home
Cause as I breathe in deep you’re looking at me
Like a statue of the boy I used to know

Dm F C  G

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

Am F C G (play the C chord triad above these if on piano)

‘Cause you’re like the falling leaves
Whilst I’m still the oak tree
‘Cause you’re the one to leave
Now I’m falling asleep

‘Cause you’re like the broken keys
Whilst I’m just a broken home
And I breathe in deep as I watch you leave
You’re statue of the boy I used to know

G

You got new jeans, the hoody’s not gone

                                                Em

i’m in a new dress that i’ve never worn

                              C 

and I could have sworn

G

You didn’t bat an eye when I walked

                                              Em

in to the room where I first thought

                            C

you could be the one

Am                           C                         G                            D

Have we been seeing the world through a piece of shattered glass?

Am                   C                    G                         D

Cause something so beautiful can fall apart so fast

G                         G2                  Em                   C

Just before goodbye, you had the chance to change your mind

G                         G2                  Em                   C

Just before you lied saying, you gave this your best try

G                           G2                              Em                   C

It’s not enough to try, you have to give your blood and tears and time

Em                                    C

You had one last chance to change your mind

G    G2     Em    C

Just before goodbye

G

Curtains are drawn but we’re still dressed

                                                Em

the film plays on whilst under breath

                      C (same again)

I ask what is left now?

But you ignore, pretend that we’re fine

but we’re not together half of the time

how would I know the signs?

Am                           C                         G                            D

Have we been seeing the world through a piece of shattered glass?

G                           G2                                Em                           C

It’s not enough to try, you have to give your blood and tears and time,

Em                              C

take the world of hurt inside,

Em                                                 C

You had one last chance to change your mind

Just before goodbye

take the world of hurt inside,

Em                                 C

You had one last chance to change your mind

G     G2     Em      C

Just before goodbye

Maybe if we stopped to look, instead of just to see

We’d find the things we’re missing, find the things we need

Keep your friends by your shoulder
Save your lover in your heart
Put your enemies behind your back
That’s where they always are

Emotions like a pick and mix
Don’t know what you’re gonna get
You’re crying to the mirror now
But it’s all just in your head
