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
