Verse 1:
F#5                 Eb5
  I slowly started chipping
             Bb5           Ab5
away at this block of stone
                 F#5     Eb5
in an attempt to fashion   a
                     Bb5
way to regain your attention
Ab5                      F#5
  why won't you hear me out?
                        Eb5
I started out with some paper
                Bb5    Ab5
and pen and my apologies
but every time I try
   F#5          Eb5
to write to you
I just can never find
    Bb5        Ab5
the words to explain


Chorus 1:
                C#5                Bb5
so I'll build a monument to honor you
           C#5                  Bb5
out of the ruins of the love I knew
               C#5
I'll turn your favorite memories
       Bb5
into a sight for all to see
                        Eb5
because I know when you see
                       F#5
it you'll come back to me

Verse 2:
F#5
  picked me up the phone and I
 Eb5
started to dial your
          Bb5   Ab5
line from memory
too proud to ever
        F#5    Eb5
let you pickup
close to the point
               Bb5    Ab5
where I should give up
you'll never call me back
F#5                           Eb5
  so now I'm doing something tangible
            Bb5
I'm working with my hands
Ab5                            F#5
  because I can never seem to manage
Eb5                      Bb5
   to say I'm sorry in a language
              Ab5
you can comprehend


(Repeat Chorus 1)


Bridge:
F5 F#5
     I'll put it right
outside your window
F5 F#5
     so it's impossible to ignore
F5 F#5
     will that be good enough
    F5  F#5    B5
for you? (for you)
F5 F#5
     and even if you pulled
your shades down
F5 F#5
     and burn the statue
to the ground
F5 F#5
      it'll be enough to bring
     F#5
your warmth back to me


Chorus 2:
  C#5
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
                        Eb5
because I know when you see
                       F#5
it you'll come back to me


Chorus 3:
           C#5                Bb5
building a monument to honor you
           C#5                  Bb5
out of the ruins of the love I knew
               C#5
I'll turn your favorite memories
       Bb5
into a sight for all to see
                        Eb5
because I know when you see
                       F#5
it you'll come back to me


Outro:
             F#5
come back to me
