G                          Cmaj7
I don't wanna drive a fancy car today
              Em         D     Cmaj7
I don't wanna ride in a red corvette
G                     Cmaj7
I don't wanna jog my Saturday away
    Em            D       F
but I don't wanna go home yet
G                       Cmaj7
today is not the day to jump out of a plane
              Em           D     Cmaj7
I don't wanna parasail or play roulette
G                         Cmaj7
I don't wanna risk it all or go insane
      Em          D        F
but I don't wanna go home yet

               Cmaj7       G
I just want to watch the birds go by
        Cm6                        Cmaj7
from my handy foldable blue canvas throne
        Cmaj7      G
I wanna watch them fly & fly
  Cm6                       Cmaj7
& see them soar up into the unknown
        C
but I'd feel just like a nerd
         Cm
watching birds
                       G
watching me here all alone


G                             Cmaj7
I don't wanna break dance or learn tae-kwon-do
              Em                D        Cmaj7
I don't wanna fish 'til all the fish are gone
G                           Cmaj7
I don't wanna roller skate, even if it's slow
              Em             D   F
I don't wanna pass out in a marathon
G                    Cmaj7
I don't like soccer, baseball, track or field
        Em       D        Cmaj7
I'm not up for a match of polo
G                     Cmaj7
I don't wanna seek or try to stay concealed
         Em         D          F
I'm also not up for... water polo


             Cmaj7     G
I just wanna watch the birds up there
          Cm6                             Cmaj7
track the migratory patterns that they've flown
        Cmaj7       G
I wanna watch them from my chair
        Cm6                       Cmaj7
with my binoculars, my latte & my phone
C
trying to spot a lark
       Cm
in the park
                       G
parked in nature all alone


D
alone here with the doves
     Cmaj7
the sparrows, the ospreys
    Em                   Cmaj7 
the owlets, the egrets & my list
          D
it's just me & Mr. Finch
    Cmaj7                         D
the robins, the kingfishers, the snipes
                           D7
though I heard they don't exist
C                         Cm
each little specie in its little way can teach me
      Em                        F 
what awaits you if you can get away


        Cmaj7      G
I wanna watch the birds do what they will
         Cm6                  Cmaj7
sorry if I'm ornithologically prone
        Cmaj7       
I wanna watch from somewhere undisturbing
G
quiet, calm, still
Cm6                            Cmaj7
sit right here & gaze at the unknown
C                        Cm
I don't wanna fly in the sky
          C
I just wanna be alone
              G
It's not a big deal or anything
C                   
   I just wanna be 
G
   Alone
