C G Am F
Well I Cmet you at the corner of my Ghope and my regret,
wasn't Amlooking for an angel,

The Cnight I heard my self sing,
the Gnight I found a meaning,
near the Amwhite walls that were calling Fme.
I Gtried to write a song for you but Fit just went and left me Cblue.F  C  
BenGeath the ground, the sun and stars,
I Flay with the princess of hearts.C  
[Chorus]
So let me Fshow you Gmy eye Csight,
we'll be the Fbell of the Gsouthern Cwild,
come show me Fwhy at Gfirst sight,
Amlove moves Fquickly.
Hello nice to meet you, I was Gwondering if I could walk you home!
C F C Am C F C Am G
CI see rivers run the evergreen,
I see Gdreams lost to the sand,
I see Amcrying for our families,
as their Flives slip through our hands.
All my Clife has been leeching,
why Ggive it all to you?
Yeah I Amthink I need a teaching,
cause they Fsay that I'm untrue.
The Gbest will pass and set you free,
the Flove and all that you should be.C  
And Gno I'm not the preacher's son,
I'd Flove to be your only one.

So let me Fshow you my Geye sight,C

C G Am F

C G

Well I met you at the corner of my hope and my regret,

wasn't looking for an angel,

wasn't looking for you yet.

The night I heard my self sing,

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.

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.

Hello nice to meet you, I was wondering if I could walk you home!

C F C Am C F C Am G

I see rivers run the evergreen,

I see dreams lost to the sand,

I see crying for our families,

as their lives slip through our hands.

All my life has been leeching,

why give it all to you?

Yeah I think I need a teaching,

cause they say that I'm untrue.

The best will pass and set you free,

F C

the love and all that you should be.

And no I'm not the preacher's son,

I'd love to be your only one.

C F C

Hello nice to meet you,

I was wondering if I could walk you.

Am C F Am F Dm Am C F Am F

But oh na, na,

it ain't as easy as I make it sound.

it knocks you up and it knocks you down,

nothing lost, ever since I found.

and I know, I've got a chance.
