C majorC
I wanna go to Austin but I want to stay home
FF
invite our friends but still be alone
C majorC
live for danger but play it cool
G+G
have everyone respect me for being the fool
C majorC
I wanna have 15 ice creams
FF
but still watch what I eat
C majorC
and win all the prizes
G+G
but still keep my feet
C majorC
I want for us to be together forever
FF
but to wander wherever I may
C majorC
I want you to be easy and casual
G+G
but still demand I stay
C majorC
I want for us to go out to dinner
FF
and make a home cooked meal
C majorC
wear an evening gown
G+G
and quickly ditch the heels
C majorC
Climb to the top look over the ledge
FF
dance bare foot on a razor?s edge
C majorC
reach for the stars grab the tiger by the tail
G+G
but if I don?t try I?ll never fail
C majorC
Cause if you go home you?re rolling dice
FF
can?t step in the same river twice
C majorC
You love too much it?ll turn to hate
G+G
If you never leave home you?ll never be late
C majorC
cause everything?s like your grandma said
FF
you can?t make gold from a pot of lead
C majorC
Jesse James was just a crook
G+G
you can?t learn to plow by reading a book
C majorC
I wanna take the train but get there fast
FF
live in the moment, have everything last
C majorC
achieve great things but not really care
G+G
have everyone love me but tell ?em not to stare
C majorC
I wanna be really rich
FF
but not care about money
C majorC
to always tell the truth
G+G
but still be really funny
C majorC
I want for you to know me completely
FF
but still remain mysterious
C majorC
consider everything deeply
G+G
but still remain fearless
C majorC
I?m easy to please I like chocolate and vanilla
FF
ask me to choose and I?ll pick sarsaparilla
C majorC
I like sunsets but I love sunrises
FF
and I don?t care about the color of your eyes
C majorC
Gotta play fast but only shoot once
FF
stand in the corner, hold hands with the dunce
C majorC
Only thing?s for certain nothing stays the same
G+G
and each and every kid only gets one name
C majorC
Eat too much, you?re gonna get fat
FF
buy a dog and you?ll piss off the cat
C majorC
So take a deep breath and enjoy the ride
G+G G+G G+G C majorC (single strums)
