• D

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 
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 
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 
Em 
I want to be like the people I see 
A 
Hey man, they want a rover just like me 
Em 
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
