[Intro 1]

[F][C][G]

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

[Chorus 1]
I [F]keep running a[C]round
Try[F]ing to find the [C]ground
But my [F]head is in the [C]stars
And my [G]feet are in the sky
Well, [F]I'm nobody's [C]baby, I'm [F]everybody's [C]girl
I'm the [F]queen of [C]nothing
I'm the [G]king of the

[F][C][F][G]

[Verse 2]
And [F]once you [C]asked me well
[F]what's my biggest [C]fear
That [F]things would [C]always re[G]main so unclear
[F]That one day I'd [C]wake up [F]all a[C]lone
With a [F]big fami[C]ly and emptiness
[G]deep in my bones
That [F]I would be so b[C]linded, t[F]urn a deaf e[C]ar
And that my [F]fake laugh would [C]suddenly
[G]sound sincere

[Chorus 2]
Now I [F]wasn't born for an[C]ything
Wasn't [F]born to say [C]anything
[F]I'm just here [C]now and [G]soon I'll be gone
[F]I'm nobody's [C]baby, I'm [F]everybody's [C]girl
I'm the [F]queen of [C]nothing
I'm the [G]king of the

[Verse 3]
[F]Now every[C]day there's a [F]short inter[C]mission
[F]While I sle[C]ep they start dim[G]ming the lights
[F]But I've seen eve[C]rything I eve[F]r want to see[C]
Screaming [F]"Fire!" in a [C]theater people
[G]taking their seats
[F]Watch it all go dow[C]n like a sto[F]ne in a str[C]eam
If you [F]fall for your re[C]flection
you will [G]drown in a dream

[Chorus 3]
[F]Tell me something rea[C]l
[F]Tell me something tru[C]e
I just [F]want to [C]feel there's something
[G]left that I can do
But [F]I'm nobody's [C]baby, I'm [F]everybody's [C]girl
I'm the [F]queen of [C]nothing
I'm the [G]king of the
