[Intro] D E A G D E A [Verse 1]
A                       D       A
I was born again a little north of Disney Land

D                    A                              E
Somewhere under Wonderland and Hollywood

                       A                                           D                    A       
But then I had to go skipping and diving and bouncing back to New York City

                                      D                 A                      E        
Straight through the heart of America where all the wild things grow
[Chorus]
D         E           A
I want to be an earthquake driver

D               E         A
I want to be an aquarium diver

D               E                     A G       D      E       A
I just don't want to go home
[Verse 2]
A                       D               A
I live alone but I am hungry for affection

D             A                                E
I just struggle with connection til the water calls me home

A                           D               A   
Down into ocean among millions of other lonely people

 D                                 A                    E       
Drowning among the only people we are ever going to know
[Chorus]

D               E                     A G       D      E       A
I just don't want to go home
[Bridge]
E
I want to be like the people I see

D
They want a rover just like me

E
I wanna stay but what keeps me away 

D
Is I'm tied into the lightning line

A
And I wanna see if the sun is shining

F#m                              E
Long night’s just a waste of time I, I don't want to see people like me
Just sleeping and, waking and, hoping and, hating and [Verse 3]
A                                        D             A        
You look at me like I'm some kind of carnival attraction

                D               A               E                 
You say love is an abstraction, just some ghost that you chase

           A                                           D         A      
Well, I am a cypher and, I am a blank space

                          D                    A                                        E
Filled up with words you remember from whenever you saw my face
[Chorus]
D         E           A
I want to be an earthquake driver

D               E         A
I want to be an aquarium diver

D               E                     A G       D      E       A
I just don't want to go home
[Bridge]
E
I want to be like the people I see

A
Hey man, they want a rover just like me

E
I want to stay but what keeps me away

D
Is I’m plugged into the lightning line

A
I wanna be where the sun is shining

F#m                      E
All night, chasing time I, I don't want to be with people like me
Just creeping and, waking and, hoping and, hating and [Verse 4]
A                                                    D                        A
Now what is the price of this fame and self absorption?

        D                                 A                             E  
We turn ourselves into orphans and then spend our nights alone

A                                                     D                A  
Living in fear of some kind of imaginary consequence

D           A                E
Terror incognito, ob-la-di li-bi-do
[Chorus]
D         E           A
I want to be an earthquake driver

D               E         A
I want to be an aquarium diver

D               E                     A G       D      E       A
I just don't want to go home

                D                        E         A
Truth is I don't want to be no earthquake driver

        D                             E        A
And I do not want to be an aquarium diver, but hey

D               E                     A G       D      E       A
I just don't want to go home

D               E                     A G       D      E       A
Oh man, I just don't want to go home

D               E                     A G       D      E       A
Oh, I do not want to go home
