[Am] [D] [G]
[D] The [F] statue got me [D] high, [G] the statue got me [D] high
[F] Onions, mint, granite, santa, bathed into [D] my eye
[G] The statue made [D] me die, [G] the statue made [D] me die
It [F] took my hand, it killed me, and it turned me [G] to the [Em] sky
The stone had called to me, [G] and now I see the [C] things the [G] stone has shown [D] to be
A rock that spoke a word, [C] and in which a [G] man would [D] let him be heard
And [Am] though I once preferred [G] a human being's [D] company
They [Am] fell before the [G] monolith that [C] towers over [D]
me
[G] The statue got [D] me high, the statue [F] got [D] me high
The truth is where the sculptor's [F] chisel chipped away [D] the line
[G] The statue [D] made me cry, [F] the statue [D] made me [G] cry
It shall contain a furnace [D] where there used to be [G] a guide
The stone [C] had called to me, and now I [Am] see the things the stone [D] has shown to be
A rock that spoke a [G] word, and in which a man would let him [D] be heard
And as the screaming [G] fire engine [C] siren filled the [D] air
[C] The evidence had vanished from my jarred and smoking [D] chair
And what they found was just [Am] a statue standing where the statue got me high
And what they [G] found was just a [C] statue standing where the [D] statue [G] got me high
[D]
[F] [D]
And now it is your turn, you're [Am] taking the stone [G] and then your turn to [Em] burn
The stone had [D] called to you, you [Am] can't refuse to do the things it [D] tells you to do
And as the screaming fire engine siren filled the air
[C] The evidence had [G] vanished from your jarred and [D] smoking chair
And what they found [G] was [Am] just a statue standing [G] where the statue [Am] got me high
And [D] what they'll [G] find is just a statue standing where the statue [D] got [G] you high
[D] The [F] statue got me [D] high, [G] the statue got me [D] high
[F] Onions, mint, granite, santa, bathed into [D] my eye
[G] The statue made [D] me die, [G] the statue made [D] me die
It [F] took my hand, it killed me, and it turned me [G] to the [Em] sky
