[Verse 1]
              G
Well, I don't 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 won't be around
     Em                          C
I'll move on over to your 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 you're 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 you're the captain, I am no one
            D                          C
I tend to feel as though I owe one to you
     G
To you
 
[Bridge]
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 you're the captain, I am no one
           D                           C      C
I tend to feel as though I owe one to you
 
                  G             D
Cause you're the captain, I am no one
       C       C
And I owe one
          G
To you
