  C            G             C   
At ten in the morning I was 
        G
laughing at something
C        G      D
At the airport terminal
    C           G      C       G
At nine in the evening I was 
      C         G   D
sitting crying to you over the phone
     C             G          
While passing the border from a 
   C         G
state to another
             C      G             
Filled with people whom I couldn't
   D
 help to relate to

       C        G            C   
And we stopped a while at a 
          G
roadside restaurant
           C        G        
Where the waitress was sitting 
             D
outside smoking in her car
    C                  G    C    
She had that look of total fear 
       G
in her eyes
           C               G      
And as we drove away from there 
   D
she looked at me and she smiled

  C              G       C       
I keep running around, trying to 
           G
find the ground
       C               G        D
But my head is in the stars my feet 
are in the sky
         C         G      
Well I'm nobody's baby, I'm 
   C           G
everybody's girl

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

    C             G       C      
And once you asked me well what's
            G
 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                 
With a big family and emptiness deep
D
 in my bones
       C             G        C  
That I would be so blinded, turn 
     G
a deaf ear
        C         G        
And that my fake laugh would 
           D
suddenly sound sincere

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

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

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