[Intro]
D
[Estrofa]
D                           G 
I don't wanna drive a fancy car today 
              Bm        A      Em 
I don't wanna ride in a red corvette 
D                    G 
I don't wanna jog my Saturday away 
      Bm          A           C 
But I don't wanna go home yet 
D                       G 
Today is not the day to jump out of a plane 
              Bm          A      Em 
I don't wanna parasail or play roulette 
D                            G 
I don't wanna risk it all or go insane 
      Bm          Asus2       Cadd9 
But I don't wanna go home yet
[Estribillo]
               G         D 
I just want to watch the birds go by 
        F#7                         Bm 
From my handy foldable blue canvas throne 
        G          D 
I wanna watch them fly and fly 
    F#7                       Bm     D7 
And see them soar up into the unknown 
        G                               Gm                           D 
But I'd feel just like a nerd, watching birds, watching me here all alone
[Estrofa]
D                            G 
I don't wanna break dance or learn taekwondo 
              Bm                A         Em 
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      C 
I don't wanna pass out in a marathon 
D                    G 
I don't like soccer, baseball track or field 
        Bm       A        Em 
I'm not up for a match of polo 
D                     G 
I don't wanna seek or try to stay concealed 
         Bm        Asus2    Cadd9 
I'm also not up for... water polo
[Estribillo]
             G         D 
I just wanna watch the birds up there 
          F#7                           Bm 
Track the migratory patterns that they've flown 
        G          D 
I wanna watch them from my chair 
        F#7                          Bm   D7 
With my binoculars, my latte and my phone 
   G                         Gm                        D 
Trying to spot a lark in the park parked in nature all alone
[Puente]
A                                 G 
Alone here with the doves and the sparrows and the ospreys 
    F#m                     G 
The owlets, the eagles and my list 
          A                     G 
It's just me and Mr. Finch, the robins, the kingfishers 
    Em                                 A 
The snipes, though I heard they don't exist 
G 
Each little species in its little way can teach me 
     F#m                        E7 
What awaits you if you can get away
[Estribillo]
        G            A7 
I wanna watch the birds do what they will 
F#7                           Bm 
Sorry if I'm ornithologically prone 
        G                                  D 
I wanna watch from somewhere undisturbing, quiet, calm and still 
F#7                              Bm   D7 
Sit right here and gaze at the unknown
[Outro]
G                    Gm                     G 
I don't wanna fly in the sky, I just wanna be alone. 
               D 
It's not a big deal or anything 
G      Gm       D 
I just wanna be alone
