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

I just want to…


C          G
Watch the birds go by
        B7                         Em
From my handy foldable blue canvas throne
        C          G
I wanna watch them fly and fly
    B7                       Em     G7
And see them soar up into the unknown
But I’d…
 C                               Cm
 Feel just like a nerd, watching birds

Watching me here all alone

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

I just want to…


C          G
Watch the birds up there
          B7                           Em
Track the migratory patterns that they’ve flown
        C          G
I wanna watch them from my chair
        B7                          Em   G7
With my binoculars, my latte and my phone
C                            Cm
Trying to spot a lark in the park
                          G
Parked in nature all alone


D                                 C
Alone here with the doves and the sparrows and the ospreys
    Bm                     C
The owlets, the eagles and my list
          D                     C          
It’s just me and Mr. Finch, the robins, the kingfishers
    Am                                 D
The snipes, though I heard they don’t exist
C
Each little species in its little way can teach me
     Bm                        A7
What awaits you if you can get away

I wanna…


C          D
Watch the birds do what they will
B7                           Em
Sorry if I’m ornithologically prone
        C                                  G
I wanna watch from somewhere undisturbing, quiet, calm and still
B7                              Em   G7
Sit right here and gaze at the unknown


C                    Cm                             C          
I don’t wanna fly in the sky, I just wanna be alone
               G
It’s not a big deal or anything
C          Cm              G
I just wanna be alone
