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?
