By the Monument - Maximo Park
(hammer on the fifth – to make a )
You said you'd like to see me again
And then it all unraveled
(hammer on the fifth – to make a)
I heard that you were seeing someone
Not such an insignificant other
(hammer on the fifth – to make a )
It seems my moves were far too swift
In life, some things are worth the effort
Prechorus
Dm G Cadd9 (hammer off the ninth)
I touched the place where your hair had been
I buttoned the shirt that you left 'round mine
Chorus
(hammer on the fifth)
Defacing pictures of famous people
On the train
(hammer on the fifth)
Standing by The Monument
Just waiting for the rain
X2
(hammer on the fifth – to make a )
In my wallet with your photobooth smile
And I wearing my waterproof jacket
Posterity has hold of us now
Am I just waiting for the next chapter?
We sleep tonight in seperate towns
At dusk, we see our disparate futures
I tore a sock to bind up your golden hair
We found a hotel bar to sustain our last night
In vain...
Defacing pictures of famous people
On the train
Standing by The Monument
Just waiting for the rain
X2
(hammer on the fifth – to make a )
Standing by The Monument
Just waiting for the rain
I'm just passing my time
With you on my mind
I'm just wasting my precious time
With you on my mind
