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

I just want to…


E          B
Watch the birds go by
        Eb7                         Abm
From my handy foldable blue canvas throne
        E          B
I wanna watch them fly and fly
    Eb7                       Abm     B7
And see them soar up into the unknown
But I’d…
 E                               Em
 Feel just like a nerd, watching birds

Watching me here all alone

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

I just want to…


E          B
Watch the birds up there
          Eb7                           Abm
Track the migratory patterns that they’ve flown
        E          B
I wanna watch them from my chair
        Eb7                          Abm   B7
With my binoculars, my latte and my phone
E                            Em
Trying to spot a lark in the park
                          B
Parked in nature all alone


Gb                                 E
Alone here with the doves and the sparrows and the ospreys
    Ebm                     E
The owlets, the eagles and my list
          Gb                     E          
It’s just me and Mr. Finch, the robins, the kingfishers
    Dbm                                 Gb
The snipes, though I heard they don’t exist
E
Each little species in its little way can teach me
     Ebm                        Db7
What awaits you if you can get away

I wanna…


E          Gb
Watch the birds do what they will
Eb7                           Abm
Sorry if I’m ornithologically prone
        E                                  B
I wanna watch from somewhere undisturbing, quiet, calm and still
Eb7                              Abm   B7
Sit right here and gaze at the unknown


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