Intro F,C,Am,G x2
[Verse 1]
F C Am G
Everybody's got that girl, you know the one that got away
F C Am G
I really don't know why but I was thinking 'bout her today
F C
I loved the way she'd say Georgia
Am G
With that sweet little southern drawl
F C
And how she whispered "baby"
Am G
As the mossy oak shadows would fall
Dm G
If whiskey was a time machine, I would try to drink her back to me
[Chorus]
F C
There are highways and byways
Am G
Running east, west, north, and south
F C Am G
And you can sail into the harbor, see the planes touching down
F C
But I burned up every bridge
Am G
Just like Sherman did coming down from Atlanta
Dm G F C Am G
And I know there ain't no way back to Savannah, no, no, oh, woah
[Verse 2]
F C Am G
Yeah, I had some big city dreams, headed out on my own
F C Am G
To the bright lights and the neon sky, left her there all alone
F C Am G
This photograph is the only map as a memory disappears
Dm G C
And the truth is you can't get there from here
[Chorus]
F C
There are highways and byways
Am G
Running east, west, north, and south
F C Am G
And you can sail into the harbor, see the planes touching down
F C
But I burned up every bridge
Am G
Just like Sherman did coming down from Atlanta
Dm G F C Am G
And I know there ain't no way back to Savannah, no, no, oh, woah
F,C,G
[Break]
Yeah
Dm G
If whiskey was a time machine I would try to drink her back to me
[Chorus]
F C
There are highways and byways
Am G
Running east, west, north, and south
F C Am G
And you can sail into the harbor, see the planes touching down
F C
But I burned up every bridge
Am G
Just like Sherman did coming down from Atlanta
Dm G F C Am G
And I know there ain't no way back to Savannah, no, no, oh, woah
F C G
No, no, no, oh, woah
[Outro]
F C Am G
Everybody's got that girl, I've got mine in black and white
F C Am G F C
I really don't know why but I'm calling her tonight
