Monuments

C

[Verse 1]
  C                   Em
There's a thin white line
        C        Em
Cutting up the plains
       C             G
As I travel back in time
             D            Em
And hours swallow up the days
C                     Em
Watch the lights come up
        C             Em
In the city where you are
        C                G                    D             C
And I close my eyes and feel the warmth of falling in your arms


[Chorus]
A               Cmaj7   G     Em
Somebody cut me loose today
A                   C          G           Cmaj7
But I don't have a use for my wings in a hurricane
A                Am7
Unless I'm on my way


[Verse 2]
         C         Em
I met a girl back east
     C                        Em
Who said 'don't trust the weatherman'
    C                 G                         D          Em
He never know when a sudden storm is gonna consecrate the land
              C          Em
She said on nights like these
       C          G
I can hear the monuments
          C                     G             D                C
Just like us they're drinking poison singing what they can't forget


[Chorus]
A               Cmaj7   G    Em
Somebody cut me loose today
A                   C          G           Cmaj7
But I don't have a use for my wings in a hurricane
A                Am7
Unless I'm on my way

[Bridge]
C                     Em
I felt my heart grow wild
            C              G
With every valley that I crossed
             C            Em
Oh I knew nothing of the desert
          C            G                          Em
But the fear of being lost and you can't hear me now
                 C    Am        Em
But I've been calling out your name
         C        G                             D          C
When I wake up drenched in nightmares and find I'm alone again


[Chorus]
A               Cmaj7   G    Em
Somebody cut me loose today
A                   C          G           Cmaj7
But I don't have a use for my wings in a hurricane
A                Am7
Unless I'm on my way


[Outro]
C                  Em
And if you're not home
        C              G
On the day that I get back
         C              G               D             C
I will wait up in the kitchen like you did the day I left
