Thomas Sanders - Birds

                [Intro]
D

[Verse]
D                           G
I don't wanna drive a fancy car today
              Bm        A N.C.  Gm7
I don't wanna ride in a red corvette
D                    G
I don't wanna jog my Saturday away
      Bm N.C.     A N.C.  Gm7
But I don't wanna Go home yet
D                       G
Today is not the day to jump out of a plane
              Bm          A N.C.   Gm7
I don't wanna parasail or play roulette 
D                            G
I don't wanna risk it all or Go insane
      Bm N.C.     A N.C.  Gm7 N.C.
But I don't wanna Go home yet

[Chorus]
               G         D
I just want to watch the birds Go by
        Gm6                        Bm    Bm7
From my handy foldable blue canvas throne
        G          D
I wanna watch them fly and fly
    Gm6                       Bm     Bm7
And see them soar up into the unknown
        G N.C.                          Gm N.C.                      D
But I'd feel just like a nerd, watching birds, watching me here all alone

[Verse]
D                            G
I don't wanna break dance or learn tai Kwon do
              Bm                A N.C.   Gm7
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 N.C.     A N.C. Gm7
I don't wanna pass out in a marathon
D                    G
I don't like soccer, baseball track or field
        Bm       A N.C.   Gm7
I'm not up for a match of polo
D                     G
I don't wanna seek or try to stay concealed 
         Bm N.C.   A N.C.    Gm7 N/C
I'm also not up for... water polo

[Chorus]
             G         D
I just wanna watch the birds up there
          Gm6                          Bm  Bm7
Track the migratory patterns that they flow
        G          D
I wanna watch them from my chair
        Gm6                         Bm   Bm7
With my binoculars, my latte and my phone
   G N.C.                    Gm N.C.                    D
Trying to spot a lark in the park parked in nature all alone

[Bridge]
A                                 G
Alone here with the doves and the sparrows and the ospreys
    Bm                     G
The owlets, the eagles and my list
          A                     G
It's just me and Mr. Finch, the robins, the kingfishers
    Bm                                 A
The snipes, though I heard they don't exist
G                          D
Each little species in its little way can teach me
     D7                        G9
What awaits you if you can get away

[Chorus]
        G                  D
I wanna watch the birds Do what they will
Gm6                           Bm   Bm7
Sorry if I'm ornithologically prone
        G                                  D
I wanna watch from somewhere undisturbing, quiet, calm and still
Gm6                              Bm   Bm7
Sit right here and gaze at the unknown 

[Finale]
G N.C.                                        A
I don't wanna fly in the sky, I just wanna be alone.
A
...
       N.C.     D N/C
I just wanna be alone
