Gb          Db
Watch the birds go by
        F7                         Bbm
From my handy foldable blue canvas throne
        Gb          Db
I wanna watch them fly and fly
    F7                       Bbm     Db7
And see them soar up into the unknown
But I’d…
 Gb                               Gbm
 Feel just like a nerd, watching birds

Watching me here all alone

Watch the birds up there

Track the migratory patterns that they’ve flown

I wanna watch them from my chair

With my binoculars, my latte and my phone

Trying to spot a lark in the park

Parked in nature all alone

Alone here with the doves and the sparrows and the ospreys
    Fm                     Gb
The owlets, the eagles and my list

It’s just me and Mr. Finch, the robins, the kingfishers

The snipes, though I heard they don’t exist

Each little species in its little way can teach me

Sorry if I’m ornithologically prone

I wanna watch from somewhere undisturbing, quiet, calm and still
F7                              Bbm   Db7
Sit right here and gaze at the unknown


Gb                    Gbm                             Gb          
I don’t wanna fly in the sky, I just wanna be alone

It’s not a big deal or anything
Gb          Gbm              Db
I just wanna be alone
