D MajorD

Verse:
D MajorD              G+G
I don't wanna drive a fancy car today
       B minorBm    A augmentedA N.C. G9G9
I don't wanna ride in a red corvette
D MajorD          G+G
I don't wanna jog my Saturday away
   B minorBm N.C.   A augmentedA N.C. G9G9
But I don't wanna go home yet
D MajorD            G+G
Today is not the day to jump out of a plane

   B minorBm N.C.   A augmentedA N.C. G9G9 N.C.
But I don't wanna go home yet

Chorus:
        G+G     D MajorD
I just want to watch the birds go by
    Gm6Gm6            B minorBm  G6G6
From my handy foldable blue canvas throne
    G+G     D MajorD
I wanna watch them fly and fly
  Gm6Gm6            B minorBm   G6G6
And see them soar up into the unknown
    G+G N.C.             G minorGm N.C.           D MajorD
But I'd feel just like a nerd, watching birds, watching me here all alone

Verse:
D MajorD              G+G
I don't wanna break dance or learn tai Kwon do
       B minorBm        A augmentedA N.C.  G9G9
I don't wanna fish till all the fish are gone
D MajorD             G+G
I don't wanna roller skate even if it's slow
       B minorBm N.C.   A augmentedA N.C. G9G9
I don't wanna pass out in a marathon
D MajorD          G+G
I don't like soccer, baseball track or field
    B minorBm    A augmentedA N.C.  G9G9
I'm not up for a match of polo
D MajorD           G+G
I don't wanna seek or try to stay concealed
     B minorBm N.C.  A augmentedA N.C.  G9G9 N/C
I'm also not up for... water polo

Chorus:
       G+G     D MajorD
I just wanna watch the birds up there
     Gm6Gm6             B minorBm G6G6
Track the migratory patterns that they flow
    G+G     D MajorD
I wanna watch them from my chair
    Gm6Gm6             B minorBm  G6G6
With my binoculars, my latte and my phone
  G+G N.C.          G minorGm N.C.          D MajorD
Trying to spot a lark in the park parked in nature all alone

Bridge:
A augmentedA                 G+G
Alone here with the doves and the sparrows and the ospreys
  B minorBm           G+G
The owlets, the eagles and my list
     A augmentedA           G+G
It's just me and Mr. Finch, the robins, the kingfishers
  B minorBm                 A augmentedA
The snipes, though I heard they don't exist
G+G             D MajorD
Each little species in its little way can teach me
   D7D7            G9G9
What awaits you if you can get away

Chorus:
    G+G         D MajorD
I wanna watch the birds do what they will
Gm6Gm6              B minorBm  G6G6
Sorry if I'm ornithologically prone
    G+G                 D MajorD
I wanna watch from somewhere undisturbing, quiet, calm and still
Gm6Gm6               B minorBm  G6G6
Sit right here and gaze at the unknown

Finale:
G+G N.C.                    A augmentedA
I don't wanna fly in the sky, I just wanna be alone.
A augmentedA
...
    N.C.   D MajorD N/C
