Steamboat Chords

Capo:6th fret

[Verse]
     G         C
Well I'm just a stranger
     G     C
I'm only a walker
   G        C
I guess I am human
     G        C             D     G
But sometimes I feel like I'm only a ghost
          D   G
Like I'm only a wall
            D           G
And if you come around, honey,
     C       G           D      G   D
I'll probably just follow you home
             G          D           G
'Cause it's all that I know how to do
       D         G
I was born by a body
       C         G
I'll die by one too
Em            D                G      C
And places are nothing if they ain't got you
 
[Chorus]
    Em        D         G
And one day I will be a steamboat baby
    D                G
One day I can be a freight train lady
 Em             D
I'll roll down a river
       G                 C
And the miles won't phase me
 
[Bridge]
     Em         D              G
Oh I wish I was better at being alone
      D7                             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      C             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                     G
One day I can be a freight train lady
 Em            D
I'll roll down a river
       G         C
And the miles won't phase me
 
[Bridge]
     Em          D               G
Oh I wish I was better at being alone
      D7                     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
