[Verse 1]
G
Well i dont have as many friends because
D
I'm not as pretty as i was
Em C
I've kicked myself at times because I've lied
G
So i will have to learn to stand my ground
D
I'll tell them i wont be around
Em C
I'll move on over to my town and hide
[Chorus]
G
And you be the captain
D
And I'll be no one
Em C
And you can carry me away if you want to
G
And you can lay low
D
Just like your father
Em C
And if i tread upon your feet you just say so
G
Cause your the captain, I am no one
D C
I tend to feel as though I owe one to you
G D Em C
To you
[Verse 2]
G
Well i have handed all my efforts in
D
I've searched here for my second wind
Em C
Is there somewhere here to let me in I ask
G
So I slammed the doors they slammed at me
D
I found the place I'm meant to be
Em C
I figured out my destiny at last
[Chorus]
G
And you be the captain
D
And I'll be no one
Em C
And you can carry me away if you want to
G
And you can lay low
D
Just like your father
Em C
And if i tread upon your feet you just say so
G
Cause your the captain, I am no one
D C
I tend to feel as though I owe one to you
G D Em C
To you
[Bridge]
Bm/B7 C D G
Did i forget to thank you for the ride
Em D C
I hadn't tried I tend to run away and hide
[Chorus]
G
And you be the captain
D
And I'll be no one
Em C
And you can carry me away if you want to
G
And you can lay low
D
Just like your father
Em C
And if i tread upon your feet you just say so
G
Cause your the captain, I am no one
D C
I tend to feel as though I owe one to you
G D Em C
To you
G
Cause your the captain, I am no one
N.C
And I owe one,
G D Em C
to you
