CI'm speaking of a tFime
CBefore it was black and wFhite
CAnd the grass still smelled of suFmmer in the
Gday
CAnd I recall your silFence
CYour laughter in the dFark
CMoving through my mFind where nothing stGays
AmAnd you're just like the picture on the wFall
And I'm alCways on the other side
WaiGting for it to fall
DrAmeaming of Savannah
WaFlking through the Cherokee groves
SoCme place in the dFark in your aCrms
StreeCt cars ringing them beFlls
Pink clCouds when I'm kissing your mFouth
My meCmories going bFoom all over tGown
And there's hCistory in them hiFlls
But Cif magic isn't reFal
Well, evCen bad roads lead to cheFrries in the

AmAnd you're just like the picture on the wFall
And I'm alCways on the other side
WaGiting for it to fall
EarAmthquake in the valley
RefriFgerator starting to thaw
And I'm Csome place in the dFark in your aCrms
SoCme place in the dFark in your aCrms

[Verse]

C F

I'm speaking of a time

C F

Before it was black and white

C F

And the grass still smelled of summer in the

day

C F

And I recall your silence

C F

Your laughter in the dark

C F G

Moving through my mind where nothing stays

Am F

And you're just like the picture on the wall

And I'm always on the other side

Waiting for it to fall

Dreaming of Savannah

Walking through the Cherokee groves

C F C

Some place in the dark in your arms

C F

Street cars ringing them bells

C F

Pink clouds when I'm kissing your mouth

C F G

My memories going boom all over town

C F

And there's history in them hills

C F

But if magic isn't real

C F

Well, even bad roads lead to cherries in the

south

Am F

And you're just like the picture on the wall

And I'm always on the other side

Waiting for it to fall

Earthquake in the valley

Refrigerator starting to thaw

C F C

And I'm some place in the dark in your arms

C F C

Some place in the dark in your arms
