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.

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.

[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             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 --
