Southern Wild

C G Am F
       C                           G
Well I met you at the corner of my hope and my regret,
       Am
wasn't looking for an angel,
       F
wasn't looking for you yet.
    C
The night I heard my self sing,
    G
the night I found a meaning,
         Am                            F
near the white walls that were calling me.

  G                                 F                        C    F C
I tried to write a song for you but it just went and left me blue.
   G
Beneath the ground, the sun and stars,
  F                               C
I lay with the princess of hearts.

[Chorus]
          F        G      C
So let me show you my eye sight,
             F           G        C
we'll be the bell of the southern wild,
             F      G
come show me why at first sight,
Am         F
love moves quickly.
                              G
Hello nice to meet you, I was wondering if I could walk you home!

C
I see rivers run the evergreen,
      G
I see dreams lost to the sand,
      Am
I see crying for our families,
         F
as their lives slip through our hands.
       C
All my life has been leeching,
    G
why give it all to you?
       Am
Yeah I think I need a teaching,
           F
cause they say that I'm untrue.

    G
The best will pass and set you free,
    F                                C
the love and all that you should be.
    G
And no I'm not the preacher's son,
    F
I'd love to be your only one.

[Chorus]
          F           G          C
So let me show you my eye sight,
             F           G        C
we'll be the bell of the southern wild,
             F      G
come show me why at first sight,
Am         F
love moves quickly.
                      C
Hello nice to meet you,
      G
I was wondering if I could walk you.

Dm
But oh na, na,
                              F
it ain't as easy as I make it sound.
Dm
Love it sucks,
                                   F
it knocks you up and it knocks you down,
Dm      Am                F G Dm
nothing lost, ever since I found.

                   G            C
So let me show you my eye sight,
             F           G        C
we'll be the bell of the southern wild,
             F      G
come show me why at first sight,
Am         F
love moves quickly.

              F     G          C
Cause I spend hours remembering
            F           G       C
and writing letters that I don't send.
         F       G        C     Am
But this love is not just in my head,
      F          G     C
and I know, I've got a chance.
