Pittsfield

• G

Tuning: Standard 
Capo 10th 

Verse: 

   G                     Em                     D/F# 
   
   Cadd9      G           Em         D/F# 


I'm not afraid of you now, I know 
So I climb down from the bunk beds this slow,  
I can talk back to you now, I know 
From a few things I learned from this TV show,  
You can work late till midnight, we don't care 
We can fix our own meals, we can wash our own hair,  
I go to school before sunrise, in the cold 
And I pulled the alarm, and I kicked up the salad bowls. 

Then play these chords: 
C          G       C        G          
Since that time we meant to say much more 
Unsaid things begin to take their toll,  
After school we shovel through the snow 
Drive upstate in silence in the cold,  

Cadd9     Em     D/F#   Cadd9 
You can remind me of it 
           Em            D/F#  Cadd9 
That I was lazy and tired, 
             Em       D/F#   Cadd9 
You can work all your life as 
         Em       D/F#     Cadd9  G  D/F# Cadd9  G  D/F# 
I'm not afraid of you anymore 

Back to verse: 

If I loved you oh a long time, I don't know 
If I can't recall the last time you told me so, 
Here in this house in Pittsfield 
The ghost of our grandmother works at the sewing machine post, 
Hiding the bills in the kitchen, on the floor 
And my sister lost her best friend in the Persian Gulf War,  
There was a flood in the bathroom last May 
And you kicked at the pipes when it rattled oh the river it made. 


C            G       C     G        C 
Stand there, tell me that I'm of no use 

Things unspoken break us if we share 
There's still time to wash the kitchen floor 
On your knees, the bath, the sink once more. 
You can remind me, that I was tired 
You can work late, and give yourself honor. 
Now that I'm older, wiser and working less 
I don't regret, having left the place a mess 

Cadd9   Em       D/F# Cadd9          
You can remind me,     
           Em            D/F#  Cadd9 
that I was lazy and tired 
        Em           D/F#   Cadd9 
You can recall your life as  
        Em         D/F#    C  G  C  G 
I'm not afraid of you, anymore 
     C  G  C  G  C  G  C  G  C  G  C  G  D/F#  
Anymore
