  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...

  Put down glossy pictures and drugs I've never seen

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...

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
