Tom: C

C                                Dm
I've been wandering through the valley
G                         F             C
I’ve been singing through all my broken songs
C                         Dm
I've been nailing all the endings
G                           F           C
Especially the parts that I used to get wrong
C                       Dm         G                F     C
Just like waves falling backwards, just like devils going straight
C                       Dm       G                      F           C
I ain't saying that I’m leaving, all I know is that I'm coming home late

[Chorus]
C (hold)    Dm        G      C
Oh, oh, oh, Savannah, oh my child
                            G         F              G         C
They might say that I can't handle ya, but don't you know they lie

[Verse]
C                                Dm
I've been stretching across this country
G                             F      C
Been adding to the storm with every breath
C                              Dm
And it's the darkest that it's ever been
G                           F         C
But we both know that means I'm at my best
C                         Dm         G                F       C
Just like sharks swimming backwards, just like angels raising hell
C                    Dm      G                          F             C
I’m all alone in the desert, trying to remember all the words to your spell

[Chorus]
C           Dm        G      C
Oh, oh, oh, Savannah, oh my child
                            G            F             G          C
They might say that I can’t handle ya, oh but dont you know they lie
