[Verse]
FEverybody tDmries to make me dCance

And stFare right at you wDmith my strongest gaze.

When FI sort through the sDmtars at night
I'm looking fCor some kind of sign of the Amend.
If the sFun won't rise when the mDmorning comes
I'll be reCady 'cause I dAmon't depend
On thFose things like pDmhilosophy
and the suCnrise, moon tides, pursuit of hAmappiness.

I find that FI wish GI was ChooooooAmme.
I find that FI wish GI was ChooooooAmome,
CSinging songs that I [you] Amalready know

Instead of always writing  singingmy own,
And aFrranging the tGones
In this cCity that reminds me IAm'm alone.

I find that FI wish GI was CyouuuuuAmurs.
I find that FI wish GI was CyouuuuuAmurs
And belConged to all the birds nesting Amon the porch
And aCll the trees along the rAmiver gorge
And every Fwindswept metGaphor --
All of yCours until I am nAmothing more.

[Intro]

F Dm C Am

[Verse]

F Dm C

Everybody tries to make me dance

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

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

singing

Instead of always writing my own,

F G

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 --
