Bm A
Caterpillar crawling up the big phone pole

E G
Is there somebody that you want to talk to

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

G
How is this going to affect you

D
Do you think it might wreck you

A*
Your friends might reject you

DC
You say you took it too far

G
Said you want to be, want to be, want to be, want to be...

DG D G
DG D

B A
Put down glossy pictures and drugs I've never seen

E G
We'll treat you with advice from a fashion magazine

D CG
And one day she just walked into that magazine

G
I wonder if she'll ever come back

D
They all said she would crack

A*
They said her mind was one-track

DC
They said she took it too far

G
Said you want to be, want to be, want to be, want to be...

DG D G
DG D (... solo ...)


Bm A
Every time you move your lips

E G
Well, let me give you a few tips

D CG
Yesterday you were too young

G
Tomorrow you will be too old

To regret all the things you've done

D
Who you trying to hustle

A*
Somebody want to show your muscle

DC G
Second hand excuses never went too far

D
What's this scene you're making

A*
Your ideas have been taken

DC
We'll seek when you awaken

G
Alone in someone's car

D
You just stood there shaking

A*
You stood there shaking

DC
They said you were faking

G
Said you want to be, want to be, want to be, want to be

DG D G

DG D Bm
Closer to the stars.
