[Intro]   D Em G A

[Verse 1]
                D     Em
Never did fit in
                 G      A
Always the one left out
          D
Just the girl at the back
        Em              G     A
You never gave a damn about
               D      Em
Tough growing up
                     G       A
When they shoot you down
        D               Em
But I knew someday someway
        G                     A
It was all about just getting out


[Pre-Chorus]
          Em      G
Then I turned eighteen
             D    A
Said "I'm gonna sing"
            Em
Packed my bags and they laughed
        G               D        A
Said "you'll never be anything"


[Chorus]
            D
Well, talk of the town
         Em
That's what I am now
  G                A              D
Hear them whispering about the dreams I have
    Em
Behind my back
  G            A                           D
I'm just the girl with her head in the clouds
               Em               G                      A
Feet off the ground, I'm going up, no, I won't come down
     eM                  G
So I'll keep walking, you'll keep talking
  D                A
I'll move on and still be the talk of this town

D Em G A x2

[Verse 2]
                  D     Em
Well, the word got back
               G       A
And it wasn't so good
            D                 Em
The city scared me a little more
                    G       A
Than I thought it would
                      D     Em
They said "I told you so"
                    G        A
"We knew it wouldn't last"
                D
But I'm not crying to my mama
     Em
I'm doing what I wanna
 G                           A
Bet you weren't expecting that, yeah


[Chorus]
      D
Talk of the town
         Em
That's what I am now
  G                A               D
Hear them whispering about the dreams I have
    Em
Behind my back
G             A                          D
I'm just the girl with her head in the clouds
                 Em             G                    A
Feet off the ground, I'm going up, no, I won't come down
      Em                  G
So I'll keep walking, you'll keep talking
  D                 A
I'll move on and still be the talk of this town


[Bridge]
            Em               G
One day I might be on your TV screen
  D               A
Smiling in your magazine
      Em               G                    D      A
The last thing that you ever thought you'd see is me, yeah

The talk of the town
         Em
That's what I am now
  G               A               D
Hear them whispering about the dreams I have
     Em
Behind my back
 G            A                           D
I'm just the girl with her head in the clouds
                Em             G                      A
Feet off the ground, I'm going up, no, I won't come down
    Em                   G
So I'll keep walking, you'll keep talking
