Very simple and fun song. The chord progression is the same all the way through,
(except for the short trumpet interludes)
[Intro]
C G C G C G D D
[Verse 1]
C G C G At ten in the morning I was laughing at something C G D At the airport terminal C G C G C G D At nine in the evening I was sitting crying to you over the phone C G C G While passing the border from a state to another C G D Filled with people whom I couldn't help to relate to C G C G And we stopped a while at a roadside restaurant C G D Where the waitress was sitting outside smoking in her car C G C G She had that look of total fear in her eyes C G D And as we drove away from there she looked at me and she smiled
[Chorus]
C G C G I keep running around, trying to find the ground C G D But my head is in the stars my feet are in the sky C G C G Well I'm nobody's baby, I'm everybody's girl C G D I'm the queen of nothing, I'm the kii--ing of the world
[Interlude]
G C G C G C D D
[Verse 2]
C G C G And once you asked me well what's my biggest fear C G D That things would always remain so unclear C G C G That one day I'd wake up all alone C G D With a big family and emptiness deep in my bones C G C G That I would be so blinded, turn a deaf ear C G D And that my fake laugh would suddenly sound sincere
[Chorus]
C G Now I wasn't born for anything C G Wasn't born to say anything C G D I'm just here now and soon I'll be gone C G C G I'm nobody's baby, I'm everybody's girl C G D I'm the queen of nothing, I'm the kiii--ing of the world
[Interlude]
G C G C G C D D
[Verse 3]
C G C G Now every day there's a short intermission C G D While I sleep they start dimming the lights C G C G But I've seen everything I ever want to see C G D Screaming "FIRE!!" in the theater, people taking their seats C G C G Watch it all go down like the stone in the stream C G D You fall for your reflection, you drown in the dream
[Bridge]
C G C G Tell me something real, tell me something true C G D I just want to feel there's something left that I can do C G C G But I'm nobody's baby, I'm everybody's girl C G D I'm the queen of nothing, I'm the kiii-ing of the world
[Outro]
G C G C G C D D
