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

Do you think it might wreck you
A*
Your friends might reject you
DC
You say you took it too far

Put down glossy pictures and drugs I've never seen

We'll treat you with advice from a fashion magazine

And one day she just walked into that magazine
G
I wonder if she'll ever come back

They all said she would crack

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.
