Animal Collective – Wide Eyed (Ukulele)

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, but in the end it's she who's breaking

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

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

B B9 F#
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# F#7 F#
What's the change for the better---For a child who learns not to cry?

F# E F#
And to the boy who relies on his anger: You'll survive but you won't feel exchange

F#7 B9 F#
And why 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 as 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, Oh God I hope I am waking

F#7 B F#7
Though I'm overwhelmed at times 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 finding what's sure, And not getting lost in my mind

E C#m F#
I know I can try, Needing my own, knowing (I've lied x4)

F#7
Know why, know why, i'm wide eyed, i'm wide eyed, etc. fade out
