D G
I don't wanna drive a fancy car today
Bm A G9
I don't wanna ride in a red corvette
D G
I don't wanna jog my Saturday away
Bm A G
But I don't wanna go home yet
[Verse 2]
D G
Today is not the day to jump out of a plane
Bm A G
I don't wanna parasail or play roulette
D G
I don't wanna risk it all or go insane
Bm A G
But I don't wanna go home yet
[Chorus]
G D
I just want to watch the birds go by
from my handy foldable blue canvas throne
G D
I wanna watch them fly and fly
And see them soar up into the unknown
G Bm D
But I'd feel just like a nerd, watching birds, watching me here all alone
[Verse 3]
D G
I don't wanna break dance or learn tai Kwon do
Bm A G
I don't wanna fish till all the fish are gone
D G
I don't wanna roller skate even if it's slow
Bm A G
I don't wanna pass out in a marathon
[Verse 4]
D G
I don't like soccer, baseball track or field
Bm A G
I'm not up for a match of polo
D G
I don't wanna seek or try to stay concealed
Bm A G
I'm also not up for... water polo
[Chorus]
G D
I just wanna watch the birds up there
Track the migratory patterns that they flow
G D
I wanna watch them from my chair
With my binoculars, my latte and my phone
G Bm D
Trying to spot a lark in the park parked in nature all alone
[Bridge]
A G Bm G
Alone here with the doves and the sparrows and the ospreys, the owlets, the eagles and mynas
A G Bm A
It's just me and mr finch, the robins, the kingfishers, the snipes, though I heard they don't exist
G D D7
Each little species and it's little way can teach me what awaits you if you can get away
G D A
I wanna watch the birds do what they will
