[Intro]
F Dm C Am
[Verse]
F Dm C
Everybody tries to make me dance
Am
but I just want to sit still
F Dm
And stare right at you with my strongest gaze.
C Am
It's an innocent youthful thrill.
F Dm
And hold your hand on my front porch swing
C Am
when the summer night sends a chill.
F Dm
And dream of driving way up north
C Am
though I know we'll never get our fill.
[Instrumental]
C Am
[Verse]
F Dm C
Everybody tries to fall in love
Am
but I just keep making friends.
F Dm
When I sort through the stars at night
C Am
I'm looking for some kind of sign of the end.
F Dm
If the sun won't rise when the morning comes
C Am
I'll be ready 'cause I don't depend
F Dm
On those things like philosophy
C Am
and the sunrise, moon tides, pursuit of happiness.
[Instrumental]
C Am
[Chorus]
F G C Am
I find that I wish I was hoooooome.
F G C Am
I find that I wish I was hooooooome,
C Am
Singing songs that I [you] already know
C Am
Instead of always writing [singing] my own,
F Am
And arranging the tones
C Am
In this city that reminds me I'm alone.
[Chorus/Outro]
F G C Am
I find that I wish I was youuuuuurs.
F G C Am
I find that I wish I was youuuuuurs
C Am
And belonged to all the birds nesting on the porch
C Am
And all the trees along the river gorge
F G
And every windswept metaphor --
C Am
All of yours until I am nothing more.
F G
Oooooh Oooooh --
