Animal Collective – Wide Eyed (Guitar)

F#
Guiding her into dream time

F#7 F#
Following lights in her eyes

F#
This living behind's got her frightened

E F#7
So I'm here and I'm working all night

E E F#
How is she not breaking down oh god I feel her shaking 

F#7 F# F#7
Try as I might to provide her light in the end it's she who's breaking

F# BM7
I'm holding the choice as she grows life from its stem

F#7 F#
Is it better to say not now while I'm trying to learn: yes

B B9 F#
Cause I'm dreaming of bouncing feet and your motherly smile

F#9 F#7
But when you're sleeping so far away I can't feel what's inside

F#4 F#
How am I still holding on oh god I hope I am holding

E F#7 F#
She'll try and describe what my strength provides but I fear my strength is failing

E F# E F#
If I could change my mind I would change

F#
What's to change for the better

F#7 F#
For a child who learns not to cry

F#
for the boy who relies on his anger:

E F#
You'll survive but you won't feel exchange

F#7 B9 F#
And why are all these doubts and what are all these doubts

E F#7 F#
I see in her eyes that I'm holding her fine but all I'm hearing is doubts

F# BM7
Even as water's crushing over my head

F#9 F#7
And the rhythm that I would slow is picking up it's pace

B B9 F#
I'm learning from older shames and I'm watching them die

E F#7
And I'm still hoping to see her smile in the morning when we wake

E F#
Now that I am waking up oh god I hope I am waking

F#7 B F#7
Though I'm overwhelmed at thimes I find that I'm less afraid of change

E C# F#7
Change! Change, all the time

E C# F#7
I'm still what's sure, and not getting lost in my mind, I know I can try

E C#m F#
Needing my own, and still getting lost in her eyes, and hoping it's (time x4)

F#7
wide eyed, wide eyed, I get wide eyed, I get wide eyed, etc. fade out
