[Verse 1]
C D Em G
Before we ever had any hard decisions
C D Em G
Before we ever had any rule of law
C D Em G
Savannah would laugh at me in her room at her parents' house
C D Em G
And time how fast it'd take to take off her bra
[Pre-Chorus]
C D Em G
And she was named after her dad's favourite city
C D Em G
I was named after I was named after the fact, oh yeah
[Chorus]
C Am D Em
Savannah, tell me what you had in mind
C Am D
Savannah, this wait is only multiplying

[Verse 2]
C D Em G
Before we ever had any hard decisions
C D Em G
Before she pulled me from my seat at the bar
C D Em G
Savannah would ramble on about ancient traditions
C D Em G
She said 'I don't need no minister to give you my heart'
[Pre-Chorus]
C D Em G
But her sisters kept saying these games that he's playing, you'll always be waiting
C D Em G
She called me a gentleman and she's once, twice, three times a lady
[Chorus]
C Am D Em
Savannah, tell me what you had in mind
C Am D Em
Savannah, this wait is only multiplying
C Am
Baby you can't lift us, at least you're trying
G Em
I'll keep running and you'll keep fighting
C Am D
Savannah, tell me what you had in mind
[Interlude]
Am Em C G Bm
[Bridge]
Am
My phone rings and I see you're calling
Em
It's a picture of you on a day you were smiling
C
You always think that it's time that I'm buying
G Bm
You think all I am is a man undecided
Am
So I leave the bar and it's freezing cold
Em
You say 'You always go out and I'm always alone'
C
And this song and dance, it gets pretty old
G Bm
The love of my life talk is what I've been sold
Am
I know I let you down a million times
Em
I let you down a million times
C
But don't it feel like we're just scraping by
G Bm
Feels like we're just scraping by
Am
I know I let you down a million times
Em
I let you down a million times
C
But don't it feel like we're just scraping by
G Bm
Feels like we're just scraping by
