Monongahela Park Cifras

[Verse 1]
 
                      F
It's been too fucking long
          C
I haven't seen you since we were kids
             Gm
And I rode a freight train out
        A#
To come visit you in Pitt
                  F
And you laughed so loud
         C
Let your hand rest on my knee
           Gm
I sip on a tonic 'cause
          A#
I've been trying not to drink
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
 
    Dm               C          A#
And I flash back to us in Monogahela Park
         Dm                C
And the cheap bottle of scotch
                 A#
We shared as the sky went dark
 
 
[Chorus]
 
               A#                 C
I'll drive you home, it's getting late
    F                    A#
You smile at us; meaning we can stay
              A#                  C
I'll take you home, you're on the way
   F                           A#
We watch as the night starts a slow decay
               A#  C              F
I'll drive you home, it's getting late
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
                       F
Cherry floats off your cig
                C
And you say you wanna hear the band
                Gm                   A#
And ask if it's hard for me to still sing about Diane
             F                      C
And I kinda shrug, "I mean it's not really up to me"
             Gm                          A#
I hand you a light and say, "Dolly still sings about Jolene"
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
 
    Dm              C           A#
And I flash back to us in Monogahela Park
            Dm                 C
Where we're chain-smoking at dusk
        A#
Damaged teenage hearts
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
               A#                 C
I'll drive you home, it's getting late
         F                          A#
You said it's been a year since you felt ok
              A#                  C
I'll take you home, you're on the way
    F                     A#
You lean in and I turn my face away
               A#  C              F
I'll drive you home, it's getting late
 
 
[Bridge]
 
             Gm      C
My heart's a nail bomb
              Dm           C        A#
I built it so no one could ever get close again
         Gm      C
I try to stay calm
                 Dm           C       A#
But you slam the door and I'm already shaking and
     C*
I collapse on the street
          Dm*          C*          A#
I saw the look on your face I know what it means
 
 
Gm F A# C
Gm F A# C
 
 
[Outro]
 
               A#*                C*
I'll drive you home, it's getting late
    F*                        A#*
You leaned in and I turned my face away…
 
 
 
* strum once
