[Verse 1]
G
Cheapest cigars in hand as we sat on the marble stairs,
Em G
and put words to the story that we didn't know.
G
Dusted piano keys as the song blows across for tea,
Em G
and the floorboards sing to their own melody.
[Chorus]
G
Don't go, Charlottesville,
C G
leave me by the pillars that hide here,
C G Em
write me the letter that I wrote you,
G D G
'cause I'm coming back to you.
[Verse 2]
G
We're at the southern room,
G
and the grass stains the soles of our shoes
Em G
oh but nothing could hold us back to that night.
[Chorus]
G
Don't go, Charlottesville,
C G
leave me by the pillars that hide here,
C G Em
write me the letter that I wrote you,
G D G
'cause I'm coming back to you.
[Bridge] x3
Em
Oooh ooh oh oh
C G
Oooh ooh oh oh yeah
Em D C D Em
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Oooooohhhhhh
[Chorus] x2
G
Don't go, Charlottesville,
C G
leave me by the pillars that hide here,
C G Em
write me the letter that I wrote you,
G D G
'cause I'm coming back to you.
[Outro]
G D G
I'm coming back to you.
G D G
I'm coming back to you.
