Am
The window opens I hear the toddling waves
I think about the soldiers, I think about the interstates
Em A
I would like to leave it all just for a week or two
Em A
Maybe I'd see it in clarity, whatever I would see
Am
It's all so confusing, I don't know where I stand
I could be anything but not yours on demand
Em A
I would like to leave it all if I only could
Em A
Maybe I'd see it in clarity if I'd see anything at all
Am* Em* Am* Am* Em* Am*
But the birds they are singing that sweet and lonesome song
G* Am*
Oh mother oh brother
G* Am
Take me home today
Am
You may call me irresponsible or even carefree
But it's not the way I intended to be
Em A
I would like to stay here and not say a word
Em A
Maybe I'd see it in clarity, or I'll see nothing at all
Am* Em* Am* Am* Em* Am*
But the wolfs they are howling that sweet but haunted song
G* Am*
Oh father oh sister
G* Am
Take me home today
