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

  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                 G
I'm the queen of nothing, I'm the kii--ing of the world

    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

      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
Well I'm nobody's baby, I'm everybody's girl
         C          G              D                 G
I'm the queen of nothing, I'm the kii--ing of the world

      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

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
Well I'm nobody's baby, I'm everybody's girl
         C          G              D                 G
I'm the queen of nothing, I'm the kii--ing of the world
