               [Intro] G G D D - Em Em C C

Well, I don't have as many friends because

I'm not as pretty as I was  ╔════════════════╗

I've kicked myself at times ║   The Captain  ║

Because I've lied           ║ Kasey Chambers ║

So I will have to learn to stand my ground ══╝

I'll tell 'em I won't be around

I'll move on over to your town and hide


         [Chorus] (G G D D - Em Em C C x2)

                 ((G G D D - C C x1) C C x1)

And you be the captain    - And I'll be no one

And you can carry me away - If you want to

And you can lay low - Just like your father

And if I tread upon your feet

You just say so

(('Cause you're the captain, () I am no one

  (I tend to feel as though I owe one to you)

  (…) x1) - To you x1)

                                       [Intro]

Well, I have handed all my efforts in

Searched here for my second wind

Is there somewhere here to let me in - I asked

So I slammed the doors they slammed at me

I found the place I'm meant to be

I figured out my destiny at last      [Chorus]


… - Did I forget to thank you [Li- G  G B7 C

For the ride, I hadn't tried   nk] D G Em D

I tend to runaway and hide         C  C C   C


[Chorus] (…/and) (…/And I owe one) (/…) (x2~1)

 [Intro] [Outro] G G D D - (C C x4)     (x2)
