Southern Wild

C G Am F
       C                           
Well I met you at the corner of my 
G
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                   
near the white walls that were 
         F
calling me.

  G                                
I tried to write a song for you but
 F                        C    F C
 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        
we'll be the bell of the southern 
C
wild,
             F      G
come show me why at first sight,
Am         F
love moves quickly.
Hello nice to meet you, I was 
G
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                              
the love and all that you should 
  C
be.
    G
And no I'm not the preacher's son,
    F
I'd love to be your only one.

Hello nice to meet you,

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

                   G            C

come show me why at first sight,
Am         F

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