Am F C
Am                     F
  Caterpillar crawling up the big phone pole

C                                    F
  Is there somebody that you want to talk to

C                          CG
  You know that pretty soon, you'll be able to fly

F
  How is this going to affect you

                        C
  Do you think it might wreck you

                     F*
  Your friends might reject you
DC You say you took it too far
         F
  Said you want to be, want to be, want to be, want to be...
DG C F DG C
A                              F
  Put down glossy pictures and drugs I've never seen

C                                    F
  We'll treat you with advice from a fashion magazine

C                               CG
  And one day she just walked into that magazine

F
  I wonder if she'll ever come back

                    C
  They all said she would crack

                         F*
  They said her mind was one-track
DC They said she took it too far
           F
  Said you want to be, want to be, want to be, want to be...

DG C F
DG D (... solo ...)

Am                         F
  Every time you move your lips

C                             F
  Well, let me give you a few tips

C                        CG
  Yesterday you were too young

F
  Tomorrow you will be too old
To regret all the things you've done
                    C
  Who you trying to hustle

                             F*
  Somebody want to show your muscle

              DC                     F
  Second hand excuses never went too far

                           C
  What's this scene you're making

                       F*
  Your ideas have been taken
DC We'll seek when you awaken
                     F
  Alone in someone's car

                       C
  You just stood there shaking

                  F*
  You stood there shaking
DC They said you were faking
           F
  Said you want to be, want to be, want to be, want to be
DG C F
  DG     C      Am
  Closer to the stars.
