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

Cause you're the [G]captain, I am no one
I tend to [D]feel as though I owe one to [C]you[C]
Cause you're the [G]captain, I am [D]no one
And I [C]owe one[C]
To you[G]
