Verse 1
G 
I took a pilgrimage to
the British Museum
C 
Seems I'm a tourist in this town,
Dsus4 
now I'm set to leave
D 
G 
Not much of a connoisseur,
you always struggle to see
C 
Past the first impressions,
Dsus4 
C 
the      sheer weight of history
G 
C 
G 
But today somehow it all came alive
D 
I could feel every brushstroke,
Dsus4 
D 
G 
each     chip of the carving knife
C 
G 
A babbling river of voices I heard
Even if I didn't understand
C 
D 
the words
C 
G 
And it's not up to you
Em 
You don't get to  choose
G 
D 
C 
Whether to be loved or to be left behind
G 
No, it's not yours to see
Em 
It's the beholder who holds the key
D 
She sees the angel,
Dsus4 
D 
then she carves to
C 
G 
C 
G 
C 
set it free.
G 
C 
G 
That hunch in the shoulders,
C 
G 
where did you learn that fear?
C 
It's the apology of a whisper
Dsus4 
I strain to hear
D 
G 
I remember that chocolate cake,
those kind sad eyes
C 
Baking it over and over,
Dsus4 
G 
but you nev      er take a slice
C 
But there in that place
G 
your eyes shine bright
D 
You're a fountain of wisdom,
G 
you're flushed with pride
C 
Do you stand a little taller,
G 
or is that just me?
C 
Oh, Jessica,
Dsus4 
D 
I hope you can hear me
C 
G 
Cos it's not up to you,
D 
Em 
no you don't get to choose
G 
Am 
D 
C 
whether  to be loved or to be left behind
G 
So I'm building a statue
Em 
to show you what I see
G 
Dsus4 
D 
I see an       angel and I'll carve
G 
C 
G 
C 
to set it free
G 
C 
G 
I heard you stopped eating
C 
G 
Heard it's been a rough year
C 
Now we're standing in the garden,
Dsus4 
D 
close to tears
C 
G 
And now look who's helpless
C 
G 
No, I can't find the words
C 
So I'm holding on with both hands
G 
C 
G 
for all it's worth
C 
And up above, stars twinkle through blue
G 
C 
D 
C 
D 
How can anyone feel any more
C 
G 
than helpless in that view?
C 
Grains of sand scattered
light across the sky
D 
G 
D 
C 
Oh, Jessica,
D 
we've only got tonight
Dsus4 
D 
C 
G 
An       d  it's not up to you
Em 
No, you don't get to  choose
G 
D 
C 
Whether to be loved or to be left behind
G 
D 
G 
So I'm building a statue
to show you what I see
Em 
D 
C 
G 
I see an angel and I'll carve to set it free
C 
G 
No it's not up to you
C 
and you don't get to choose
Em 
D 
G 
Whether to be loved or to be left behind
C 
So I've built you a statue
G 
Em 
to be seen from galaxies above
G 
D 
Dsus4 
Hope you remember,
D 
G 
remember you were loved.
C
