Intro: F  C  F  C  F  C  G  G

Verse 1:
  F           C             F           C
At ten in the morning I was laughing at something
F      C       G
At the airport terminal
  F            C       F     C       F         C   G
At nine in the evening I was sitting crying to you over the phone
     F            C             F         C
While passing the border from a state to another
            F      C               G
Filled with people whom I couldn't help to relate to
      F          C          F               C
And we stopped a while at a roadside restaurant
          F            C               G
Where the waitress was sitting outside smoking in her car
            F        C    F            C
She had that look of total fear in her eyes
          F               C                   G
And as we drove away from there she looked at me and she smiled

Chorus:
      F         C         F               C
I keep running around, trying to find the ground
       F              C        G
But my head is in the stars my feet are in the sky
        F         C         F           C
Well I'm nobody's baby, I'm everybody's girl
        F        C                G
I'm the queen of nothing, I'm the kii--ing of the world

Interlude: C  F  C  F  C  F  G  G

Verse 2:
    F        C             F                 C
And once you asked me well what's my biggest fear
     F            C        G
That things would always remain so unclear
    F            C       F    C
That one day I'd wake up all alone
       F       C                G
With a big family and emptiness deep in my bones
     F             C        F           C
That I would be so blinded, turn a deaf ear
            F                C        G
And that my fake laugh would suddenly sound sincere

Chorus:
            F         C
Now I wasn't born for anything
       F            C
Wasn't born to say anything
F             C       G
I'm just here now and soon I'll be gone
   F         C         F           C
I'm nobody's baby, I'm everybody's girl
        F        C                G
I'm the queen of nothing, I'm the kiii--ing of the world

Verse 3:
   F      C             F          C
Now every day there's a short intermission
F         C                G
  While I sleep they start dimming the lights
F               C            F            C
  But I've seen everything I ever want to see
           F              C               G
Screaming "FIRE!!" in the theater, people taking their seats
F                 C             F            C
  Watch it all go down like the stone in the stream
    F               C             G
You fall for your reflection, you drown in the dream

Bridge:
F                   C    F                  C
  Tell me something real, tell me something true
       F       C                      G
I just want to feel there's something left that I can do
       F         C         F           C
But I'm nobody's baby, I'm everybody's girl
        F        C                G
I'm the queen of nothing, I'm the kiii-ing of the world
