🎸 Verse 1:
G              C       F
Looking out my window
        G    C          F
On this easy afternoon
G       C         F
Just daydreaming
    G            C     F
And humming on a tune
G          C     F
Letting my mind
   G        C            F
Go where it wants to go
    G        C      F
I'm not in a hurry
             F
No reason to worry
        G       C     F
Nothing I gotta know

🎸 Chorus:
        G
I spent so long climbing the hill
      F
But I only started moving when I got still
    Am             G         F
The pace these days suits my style
                           C      F G C   F
So I think I'll stay here awhile


🎸 Verse 2:
G                C         F
Look at that ol' blue jay
G               C    F
Building up her nest
          G              C
She don't take guff from nobody
                   F
Something's on her mind
               G            C             F
You know she's gonna get it off her chest
G              C        F
Let me be that blue jay
G           C    F
Knowing I belong
G             C                         F
And no matter what lies on the road up ahead
      G           C        F
May I always have my song


🎸 Chorus:
G
All those years chasing a thrill
      F
But I never could get my fill
Am          G                F
These days, I can't help but smile
                           Am
So I think I'll stay here awhile



Instrumental 🎸 Break:
G  C  F  Am  G  F


🎸 Verse 3:
                 C    F
It seems like forever
      G           C       F
I was holding on so tight
G        C
Life was a struggle
F       G              C      F
Oh, and love, it was a fight
G              C        F
Won't somebody save me?
  G         C        F
I cried and I cried
G     C                      F
Turns out what I needed all along
       G            C     F
It was right here inside


🎸 Chorus:
  G
I worked so hard to get that lesson learned
    F
I'd like to spend time with the peace I've earned
Am             G              F
Sounds like my station on the dial
                        C
I think I'll stay here awhile
