[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
