civil wars (original song)
chords are easy!! the chorus is dm f c g, the "ah"'s are dm f dm g, chorus is am f c g, and the bridge is am g c g. i was just picking whichever notes i thought sounded nice. feel free to change it up :-)
+ words +
i’m a freak, please, try to understand
i hold my pen funny and i can’t stop thinking
'bout the end of time
something i’ll never see
but oh, i want to so desperately
little mind, steps unsteady
and i'm not ready
to hurdle through the atmosphere
i’ll end up somewhere far from here
i’ll end up somewhere far from you
in bed i’m fighting civil wars
still don’t know what i am here for
some nights come crashing in,
lately i just let them
i like to think we’re on repeat
maybe everything has to end
but when i open my eyes again
we meet
and it’s good as new
and again, i get to fall in love with you
it wouldn't be so bad
if i could take you with me, oh
i guess it's not enough
begging to live forever, no
in bed i’m fighting civil wars
still don’t know what i am here for
some nights come crashing in
lately i just let them
there’s a great big world out there
my dear, tell me how can it be fair
what will become of me
what will become of you
when we learn to stop time
then for eternity you’ll be mine
what will become of me
what will become of you
what will become of me
what will become of you

This is crazy good. I couldn't stop thinking about Keaton Henson though
This touched my heart. I cried a lot, you're amazing Savannah, you're such an inspiration for me and all your fans. Thanks for everything.
that little expression when she sings "at the end of time" is so beautiful, like she was trying not to cry. aw, so heartbreaking.
i love this song so much! i keep coming back to this video 💕
Do you consider making tshirts? I would love to buy one, with either your ghost tattoo, the quotes of your banner or a qoute from a poem or a song of yours, please.

Hiii I just wanted to say that your book arrived through my door today and I love it so much. I wrote your poem "Haunted" in my diary so that even if I lose the anthology through the years (which I hope I won't), I'll happily come across that particular one when I'm 70 and reminiscing about my youth and looking through my old stuff. It's currently my favourite poem in the entire world xx
i love ur music so much sav
