Am
The window opens I hear the toddling waves
I think about the soldiers, I think about the interstates

               G                                Am
I would like to leave it all just for a week or two

                    G                         Am
Maybe I'd see it in clarity, whatever I would see

Am
It's all so confusing, I don't know where I stand
I could be anything but not yours on demand

               G                         Am
I would like to leave it all if I only could

                    G                               Am
Maybe I'd see it in clarity if I'd see anything at all

        Am*   G*       Am*          Am*       G*       Am*
But the birds they are singing that sweet and lonesome song

   G*        Am*
Oh mother oh brother

             Am
Take me home today


Am
You may call me irresponsible or even carefree
But it's not the way I intended to be

               G                         Am
I would like to stay here and not say a word

                   G                                Am
Maybe I'd see it in clarity, or I'll see nothing at all

        Am*   G*       Am*          Am*       G*      Am*
But the wolfs they are howling that sweet but haunted song

   G*        Am*
Oh father oh sister

             Am
Take me home today
