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 14th,
        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.
