        A#
Take me back to my room on Mechanicsville Road
         F
With my drawings of flowers all over the walls
   Gm                                          D#
My mom downstairs, pushin' all of our problems under
the rug
    A#
My friends comin' 'round on a Friday night
              F
'Cause they know I got cigarettes and homemade wine
   Gm
We walk around Salls Street, just killin' time,
 D#
fallin' in love

          Gm                   F
Now, I'm sittin' here at this party
    D#
And everyone's talkin' too loud
Gm                 F
Nobody here even sees me
       D#
Can we go right now?

Chorus:
                      A#  D#
Oh, won't you take me home?
                      A#  D#
Oh, won't you take me home?

Gm                  F
LA's fine when the sun does shine
       D#                 Dm
But I wanna go back to the Eastern Time
       Cm
To the people I know
       D#
To the people you don't
                     A#  D# A# D#
So won't you take me home?

I wanna go back to the moment in time
With the windows down, driving I-95
Singing Counting Crows, tryin' to drown
Out the sounds of my mind
I hate everyone at this party
'Cause they're so in love with themselves
Nobody here understands me
I wish I was somewhere else

Chorus:
Oh, won't you take me home?
Oh, won't you take me home?

New York's fine in the summertime
But I wanna be far from the city lights
With the people I know
And the people you don't
So won't you take me home?
Oh, won't you take me home?

I don't belong at this party
I don't belong in this town
I need to go back where we started
Can we leave right now?

Chorus:
Oh, won't you take me home?
Oh, won't you take me home?
Oh, won't you take me home?
(LA's fine when the sun does shine
But I wanna go back to the Eastern Time)
Oh, won't you take me home?
(LA's fine when the sun does shine
But I wanna go back to the Eastern Time)
Oh, won't you take me home?
