[Verse]
     G         C
Well I'm just a stranger

     G     C
I'm only a walker

   G        C
I guess I am human

     G        C             D     G
But sometimes I feel like I'm only a ghost

          D   G
Like I'm only a wall

            D           G
And if you come around, honey,

     C       G           D      G   D
I'll probably just follow you home

             G          D           G
'Cause it's all that I know how to do

       D         G
I was born by a body

       C         G
I'll die by one too

Em            D                G      C
And places are nothing if they ain't got you
[Chorus]
    Em        D         G
And one day I will be a steamboat baby

    D                G
One day I can be a freight train lady

 Em             D
I'll roll down a river

       G                 C
And the miles won't phase me
[Bridge]
     Em         D              G
Oh I wish I was better at being alone

      D7                             G
Still every night I call you on the phone

     Em         D            G           C
Oh I wish I was more than my skin and my bones
[Verse]
     G           C      G          C
But I've been arranging each of my movements

     G        C
And all of my gestures

     G        C
And trying to fool myself

D    G             D            G
Into thinking that everything's small

    D            G
And nothing has reason

   D           G      C             G
I woke up and cried a convulsion of honesty

D                          G            C
Brought me to life when I thought I was gone

      Em          D          G          C
But I can't put a lie in the mouth of a song
[Chorus]
    Em        D         G
And one day I will be a steamboat baby

    D                     G
One day I can be a freight train lady

 Em            D
I'll roll down a river

       G         C
And the miles won't phase me
[Bridge]
     Em          D               G
Oh I wish I was better at being alone

      D7                     G
Still every night I call you on the phone

     Em         D            G           C
Oh I wish I was more than my skin and my bones

     Em         D            G           C
Oh I wish I was more than my skin and my bones
