Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G][D]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
Caterpillar crawling [G]up
the big phone pole
[D]Is there somebody that you want to [F]talk to?
[C]You know that pretty soon
[Bb]you'll be able [F]to fly
How is this going to affect you?
Do you think it might [C]wreck you?
Your friends might re[G]ject you
[C]Say you took it too far[Gm]
[C]You said you wan[F]t to be want to be
want [C]to be want to be
[F][C]

[Verse 2]
[Am]
Hooked on glossy pictures and
[G]drugs I've never seen
[D]We'll treat you with advice
from [F]a fashion m[C]agazine
One day she just walked into [Bb]that magazine
[F]I wonder if she'll ever come back
And they all said she would [C]crack
They said her mind was one [G]track,
Said she took it too [Bb]far
You said you [F]want to be want to be
want to be want [C]to be[F]
Closer [C]to the [Am]stars

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][F][C]
[Bb][F][Am]

[Verse 3]
Every time you move [G]your lips[F][D]
Let me give you a few [F]tips[C]
Yesterday you were too [Bb]young
[F]Tomorrow you will be too old
To regret all the things you've done
who're you trying [C]to hustle ?
Somebody you wanna
show your [G]muscle?
Second hand ex[Bb]cuses
never went too [F]far
What's this scene you're
mak[C]ing?
Your ideas have been [G]taken
We'll seek when you [Bb]awaken
alone in someone's [F]car
You just stood there shak[C]ing,
stood there [G]shaking
They said you were fak[Bb]ing

[Verse 4]
You said you [F]want to be want
to be want to be want to be
[C]Closer to the sta[F]rs
Closer to [C]the stars
[Am]
