[Verse 1]
(A) She left the crown in a (E) dusty old drawer,
(F#m) The sash she wore don’t (D) fit her no more.
(A) Small town smiles and the (E) glances she stole,
(F#m) Never filled the (D) cracks in her (E) soul.
(A) With her thumb in the air, (E) bags at her feet,
(F#m) Trading her throne for the (D) edge of a (E) seat.
(A) She’s chasing the wind, (E) leaving no trace,
(F#m) But every new town is the (D) same old (E) place.
[Chorus]
(A) She’s the nowhere (E) queen, hitching a (F#m) dream,
(D) Running from the girl she was (E) told to be.
(A) Painted by their (E) hands, never (F#m) her own plan,
(D) She’s searching for a (E) home she’s never (A) seen.
[Verse 2]
(A) Montana skies to the (E) Georgia pines,
(F#m) She’s tasted freedom but (D) nothing feels (E) right.
(A) Lovers she’s left, their (E) hearts in her wake,
(F#m) She gives them a glimpse, then she (D) pulls it a(E)way.
(A) In the glow of the truck stop (E) neon light,
(F#m) She wonders if she’ll (D) ever feel (E) alive.
(A) Every ride takes her (E) further from home,
(F#m) But closer to finding (D) the truth (E) she’s known.
[Chorus]
(A) She’s the nowhere (E) queen, hitching a (F#m) dream,
(D) Running from the girl she was (E) told to be.
(A) Painted by their (E) hands, never (F#m) her own plan,
(D) She’s searching for a (E) home she’s never (A) seen.
[Bridge]
(F#m) She’s tired of being (E) what they all want,
(A) A beauty queen trapped in (D) a pageant of loss.
(F#m) She wonders if she (E) takes off the crown,
(D) Will she find herself or just (E) let herself down?
[Chorus]
(A) She’s the nowhere (E) queen, hitching a (F#m) dream,
(D) Running from the girl she was (E) told to be.
(A) Painted by their (E) hands, never (F#m) her own plan,
(D) She’s searching for a (E) home she’s never (A) seen.
[Outro]
(A) One more ride, one (E) more mile,
(F#m) A thousand faces, (D) but none make her (E) smile.
(A) She’s the nowhere (E) queen, she’ll (F#m) never belong,
(D) But maybe the road’s where she’s (E) been all a(A)long.
