Bm A
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
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...
DG D G
DG D
B A
Put down glossy pictures and drugs I've never seen
E G
We'll treat you with advice from a fashion magazine
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...
DG D G
DG D (... solo ...)
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
DG D G
DG D Bm
Closer to the stars.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SOUL ASYLUM tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
