Capo : 1st fret

D                             Gmaj7
I don't want to drive a fancy car today
              Bm        A     G
I don't wanna ride in a red corvette
D                             Gmaj7
I don't wanna jog my Saturday away
      Bm          A        G
But I don't wanna go home yet


D                       Gmaj7 
Today is not the day to jump out of a plane
               Bm         A        G
I don't wanna parasail or play roulette
D                         Gmaj7
I don't wanna risk it all or go insane
      Bm          A         C
But I don't wanna go home yet


       Gmaj7           D 
I just wanna watch the birds go by
        Dmaj7                      Gmaj7
From my handy foldable blue canvas throne
                   D
I wanna watch them fly and fly
       Dmaj7              Em        G7
And see them soar up into the unknown
       G
But I feel just like a nerd
         Gm
Watching birds
                     D
Watching me here all alone
 

D                       Gmaj7 
I don't wanna breakdance or learn taekwondo
              Bm        A     G
I don't wanna fish till all the fish are gone
D                       Gmaj7 
I don't wanna rollerskate even if it's slow
              Bm        A     G
I don't wanna pass out in a marathon
 

D                       Gmaj7 
I don't like soccer, baseball, track or field
              Bm        A     G
I'm not up for a match of polo
D                       Gmaj7 
I don't wanna seek or try to stay concealed
            Bm        A     C
I'm also not up for waterpolo
 

       Gmaj7           D 
I just wanna watch the birds up there
        Dmaj7                      Gmaj7
Track the migratory patterns that they've flown
                   D
I wanna watch them from my chair
       Dmaj7              Em        G7
With my binoculars, my latte, and my phone
       G
Trying to spot a lark
         Gm
In the park
                     D
Parked in nature all alone
 

A7
Alone here with the doves
         Gmaj7
And the sparrows, and the ospreys
    Bm                         Gmaj7
The owlets, the egrets, and my list
          A7
It's just me and Mr. Finch
    Gmaj7                          A
The robins, the king fishers, the snipes
                          A7
Though I heard they don't exist
 

G
Each little species
                                    Bm
In its little way can teach me what awaits you
   G
If you can get away


        Gmaj7
I wanna watch
     D
The birds do what they will
         Dmaj7                Gmaj7
Sorry if I'm ornithologically prone
        Gmaj7
I wanna watch from somewhere undisturbing
D
Quiet, calm, still
Dmaj7                          Em      G7
Sit right here and gaze at the unknown


G
I don't wanna fly
       Gm
In the sky
                G
I just wanna be alone
 

               D
It's not a big deal, or anything
G           Gm      D
I just wanna be alone
