  Caterpillar crawling up the big phone pole

E5                                    G5
  Is there somebody that you want to talk to

D5                          CG5
  You know that pretty soon, you'll be able to fly

G5
  How is this going to affect you

                        D5
  Do you think it might wreck you

                     A5 *
  Your friends might reject you

                          DC
  You say you took it too far

         G5
  Said you want to be, want to be, want to be, want to be...

B5                              A5
  Put down glossy pictures and drugs I've never seen

E5                                    G5
  We'll treat you with advice from a fashion magazine

D5                               CG5
  And one day she just walked into that magazine

G5
  I wonder if she'll ever come back

                    D5
  They all said she would crack

                         A5 *
  They said her mind was one-track

                            DC
  They said she took it too far

           G5
  Said you want to be, want to be, want to be, want to be...

B5                         A5
  Every time you move your lips

E5                             G5
  Well, let me give you a few tips

D5                        CG5
  Yesterday you were too young

G5
  Tomorrow you will be too old

  To regret all the things you've done

                    D5
  Who you trying to hustle

                             A5 *
  Somebody want to show your muscle

              DC                     G5
  Second hand excuses never went too far

                           D5
  What's this scene you're making

                       A5 *
  Your ideas have been taken

                      DC
  We'll seek when you awaken

                     G5
  Alone in someone's car

                       D5
  You just stood there shaking

                  A5 *
  You stood there shaking

                     DC
  They said you were faking

           G5
  Said you want to be, want to be, want to be, want to be

DG5 D5 G5

  Closer to the stars.
