Gb                                B          
     I don’t wanna drive a fancy car today
              Ebm        Db          Abm
I don’t wanna ride in a red cor -vette
Gb                         B          
     I don’t wanna jog my Saturday away
      Ebm          Db          Abm
But I don’t wanna go home   yet
Gb                            B          
     Today is not the day to jump out of a plane
              Ebm          Db          Abm
I don’t wanna parasail or play rou - lette
Gb                                 B          
     I don’t wanna risk it all or go insane
      Ebm          Db          Abm    -nc-
But I don't wanna go home    yet

I just want to…


B          Gb
Watch the birds go by
        Bb7                         Ebm
From my handy foldable blue canvas throne
        B          Gb
I wanna watch them fly and fly
    Bb7                       Ebm     Gb7
And see them soar up into the unknown
But I’d…
 B                               Bm
 Feel just like a nerd, watching birds

Watching me here all alone

     I don’t wanna break dance or learn tai Kwon do
              Ebm                Db          Abm
I don’t wanna fish ‘til all the fish are gone
Gb                               B          
     I don’t wanna roller skate even if it’s slow
              Ebm            Db          E
I don’t wanna pass out in a mara -thon
Gb                         B          
     I don’t like soccer, baseball, track or field
        Ebm       Db          Abm
I’m not up for a match of polo
Gb                          B          
     I don’t wanna seek or try to stay concealed
         Ebm        Db          Abm   -nc-
I'm also not up for water polo

I just want to…


B          Gb
Watch the birds up there
          Bb7                           Ebm
Track the migratory patterns that they’ve flown
        B          Gb
I wanna watch them from my chair
        Bb7                          Ebm   Gb7
With my binoculars, my latte and my phone
B                            Bm
Trying to spot a lark in the park
                          Gb
Parked in nature all alone


Db                                 B
Alone here with the doves and the sparrows and the ospreys
    Bbm                     B
The owlets, the eagles and my list
          Db                     B          
It’s just me and Mr. Finch, the robins, the kingfishers
    Abm                                 Db
The snipes, though I heard they don’t exist
B
Each little species in its little way can teach me
     Bbm                        Ab7
What awaits you if you can get away

I wanna…


B          Db
Watch the birds do what they will
Bb7                           Ebm
Sorry if I’m ornithologically prone
        B                                  Gb
I wanna watch from somewhere undisturbing, quiet, calm and still
Bb7                              Ebm   Gb7
Sit right here and gaze at the unknown


B                    Bm                             B          
I don’t wanna fly in the sky, I just wanna be alone
               Gb
It’s not a big deal or anything
B          Bm              Gb
I just wanna be alone
