Caterpillar crawling up the big phone pole
EG
Is there somebody that you want to talk to
DCG
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...
DDGDDBA
Put down glossy pictures and drugs I've never seen
EG
We'll treat you with advice from a fashion magazine
DCG
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...
DGDG
DG D (... solo ...)
BmA
Every time you move your lips
EG
Well, let me give you a few tips
DCG
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
DCG
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

Closer to the stars.
