D#                                A#
It's not easy to be this complicated
          D#
'Cause I lose my way, I change my mind
        A#
And I'm more recently jaded
   D#
Or I'll be indecisive and always end up choosing
A#
The wrong thing
    D#
But I can guarantee you'll never hear me say
     A#
That all I want is a home, a family, a porch swing




(Chorus)

         D#
'Cause I wanna' be a pirate
       G#
That's one thing I've decided
         D#                          A#
It's the only thing that could ever intrigue me
           D#
There's no start or end in sight
  G#  
I guess I'll have to try it
      D#                              A#
Worse case I'll get swallowed by the deep blue sea
           D#
There's no more trying to fight it
    G#
The pain I'll leave behind me
     D#                       A#             D#
The sweet imperfections of a hot mess of a girl




    D#
And I believe in miracles
 
But there's know way that I'll
A#
Ever fit in
       D#
To the modern way of living

It's just not me
       A#
Work a nine to five live in complacency
    D#
But I gave it my all

I tried, really I swear
      A#
For a girl on her own
          D#
But after over analyzing everything there is here
     A#
It's time for my ship and fresh air



(Chorus)

         D#
'Cause I wanna' be a pirate
       G#
That's one thing I've decided
         D#                          A#
It's the only thing that could ever intrigue me
           D#
There's no start or end in sight
      G#
And I guess I'll have to try it
      D#                              A#
Worse case I'll get swallowed by the deep blue sea
           D#
There's no more trying to fight it
    G#
The pain I'll leave behind me
    D#                        A#             D#
The sweet imperfections of a hot mess of a girl



D#
              A#
And if I know me, like I think I know me
G#                        A#
I'll try to bargain with myself
     D#                                    
I'll tell myself it's really not that bad
       A#                       G#
And I'll try to stick it out
                    A#
A little longer in society never killed no one




    D#
But I can tell you

It's a guarantee that I'll
A#           D# 
Always run away from every problem or severed relationship
A#
'Cause that's who I am
D#
I wanna' be a pirate 'cause they get to be
    A#
Whoever they want on deep blue see
Fm
Here I come
