    Verse 1
    At 
    ten 
    in 
    the 
    morning 

    I 
    was 
    laughing 
    at 
    something 

    At 
    the 
    airport 
    terminal 

    At 
    nine 
    in 
    the 
    evening 

    I 
    was 
    sitting 

    crying 
    to 
    you 
    over 
    the 
    phone 

    Well 
    passing 
    the 
    border 
    from 
    a 

    state 
    to 
    an
    other 

    Filled 
    with 
    people 
    whom 

    I 
    couldn't 
    help 
    to 
    relate 
    to 

    And 
    we 
    stopped 
    a 
    while 

    at 
    a 
    roadside 
    restau
    rant 

    Where 
    the 
    waitress 
    was 
    sitting 
    outside 

    smoking 
    in 
    her 
    car 

    She 
    had 
    that 
    look 
    of 
    total 
    fear 
    in 
    her 
    eyes 

    And 
    as 
    we 
    drove 
    away 
    from 
    there 

    she 
    looked 
    at 
    me 
    and 
    she 
    smiled 

    Chorus 1
    I 
    keep 
    running 
    a
    round 

    Try
    ing 
    to 
    find 
    the 
    ground 

    But 
    my 
    head 
    is 
    in 
    the 
    stars 

    And 
    my 
    feet 
    are 
    in 
    the 
    sky 

    Well, 
    I'm 
    nobody's 
    baby, 
    I'm 
    everybody's 
    girl 

    I'm 
    the 
    queen 
    of 
    nothing 

    I'm 
    the 
    king 
    of 
    the 

    Interlude 1
    (world) 


    Verse 2
    And 
    once 
    you 
    asked 
    me 
    well 

    what's 
    my 
    biggest 
    fear 

    That 
    things 
    would 
    always 
    re
    main 
    so 
    unclear 

    That 
    one 
    day 
    I'd 
    wake 
    up 
    all 
    a
    lone 

    With 
    a 
    big 
    fami
    ly 
    and 
    emptiness 

    deep 
    in 
    my 
    bones 

    That 
    I 
    would 
    be 
    so 
    blinded, 
    turn 
    a 
    deaf 
    ear 

    And 
    that 
    my 
    fake 
    laugh 
    would 
    suddenly 

    sound 
    sincere 

    Chorus 2
    Now 
    I 
    wasn't 
    born 
    for 
    an
    ything 

    Wasn't 
    born 
    to 
    say 
    anything 

    I'm 
    just 
    here 
    now 
    and 
    soon 
    I'll 
    be 
    gone 

    I'm 
    nobody's 
    baby, 
    I'm 
    everybody's 
    girl 

    I'm 
    the 
    queen 
    of 
    nothing 

    I'm 
    the 
    king 
    of 
    the 

    Interlude 2
    (world) 


    Verse 3
    Now 
    every
    day 
    there's 
    a 
    short 
    inter
    mission 

    While 
    I 
    sleep 
    they 
    start 
    dimming 
    the 
    lights 

    But 
    I've 
    seen 
    everything 
    I 
    ever 
    want 
    to 
    see 

    Screaming 
    "Fire!" 
    in 
    a 
    theater 
    people 

    taking 
    their 
    seats 

    Watch 
    it 
    all 
    go 
    down 
    like 
    a 
    stone 
    in 
    a 
    stream 

    If 
    you 
    fall 
    for 
    your 
    re
    flection 

    you 
    will 
    drown 
    in 
    a 
    dream 

    Chorus 3
    Tell 
    me 
    something 
    real 

    Tell 
    me 
    something 
    true 

    I 
    just 
    want 
    to 
    feel 
    there's 
    something 

    left 
    that 
    I 
    can 
    do 

    But 
    I'm 
    nobody's 
    baby, 
    I'm 
    everybody's 
    girl 

    I'm 
    the 
    queen 
    of 
    nothing 

    I'm 
    the 
    king 
    of

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
