[Verse 1]
F C I’m a New Yorker with long American roots G F Am I see a land that’s tilting and I don’t know what to do Dm F Something is different, this danger feels new C G Who do we look to? Dm F In the capitol building, the chosen few G I wrote a song for you
I wrote a song for you
[Chorus]
F C As you walk through Statuary Hall G F Do you hear the marble breathing? F C All the statues are trying to talk G F What do you think that they’re saying?
[Verse 2]
Dm F C G The muse of history writes everything down Dm F C G She writes just what she sees in Washington town
[Chorus]
F C As you walk through Statuary Hall G F Did you catch the marble moving? F C All these statues are trying to walk G F Where do you think that they’re going?
[Verse 3]
Dm F C G We’re on a bigger team than left or right Dm F C G We have a flickering history as a guiding light Dm F C G F Don't want to see the American dream die in the night
[Bridge]
A# F Around the world in bars and parks C G People commiserate A# F Complex feelings around this flag of ours C G But don't want to see it fade A# F C G They still want their American friend
[Chorus]
F C As you walk through Statuary Hall G F Do you see the marble moving? F C All these statues are starting to walk G F Where do you think that they’re going?
[Outro]
F C G F To find the man who would be king F C G F Doesn’t seem to care about anything F C Now's the time to do something G F Do we dare look away, turn our heads
As we slide into the dark?
F C Now’s the time to do something G When we’re old, looking back F We will cry when we see what we have done F C Now’s the time to say something G F Families split up, the world heating up Am Em Now’s the time to say something F C G We are letting hate lead us away
