AmThe window opens I hear the toddling waves
I think about the soldiers, I think about the interstates
I would like to Emleave it all just for a week or Atwo
Maybe I'd see it in Emclarity, whatever I would Asee
AmIt's all so confusing, I don't know where I stand
I could be anything but not yours on demand
I would like to Emleave it all if I only Acould
Maybe I'd see it in Emclarity if I'd see anything at Aall
        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
AmYou may call me irresponsible or even carefree
But it's not the way I intended to be
I would like to Emstay here and not say a Aword
Maybe I'd see it in Emclarity, or I'll see nothing at Aall
        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
