Adrianne Lenker - Steamboat
1&2&3&4& first string of G chord as intro X2
[Verse]
G C
Well I'm just a stranger
G C
I'm only a walker
G
I guess I am human
C G C G
But sometimes I feel like I'm only a ghost
C G
Like I'm only a wall
C G
And if you come around, honey,
C G
I'll probably just follow you home
C G C
'Cause it's all that I know how to do
G
I was born by a body
D
I'll die by one too
C G
And places are nothing if they ain't got you
[Chorus]
Em D G
And one day I will be a steamboat baby
D Em C G
One day I can be a freight train lady
G C
I'll roll down a river
Em C
And the miles won't phase me
[Bridge]
C G
Oh I wish I was better at being alone
D G
Still every night I call you on the phone
Em D G C
Oh I wish I was more than my skin and my bones
[Verse]
G C G C
But I've been arranging each of my movements
G C
And all of my gestures
G C
And trying to fool myself
D G D G
Into thinking that everything's small
D G
And nothing has reason
D G D G
I woke up and cried a convulsion of honesty
D G C
Brought me to life when I thought I was gone
Em D G C
But I can't put a lie in the mouth of a song
[Chorus]
Em D G
And one day I will be a steamboat baby
D Em C G
One day I can be a freight train lady
G C
I'll roll down a river
Em C
And the miles won't phase me
[Bridge]
C G
Oh I wish I was better at being alone
D G
Still every night I call you on the phone
Em D G C
Oh I wish I was more than my skin and my bones
Em D G C
Oh I wish I was more than my skin and my bones
