Closer To The Stars by Soul Asylum
(originally on While You Were Out; acoustic version taken from the black Black Gold single)
Bm A E G D CG A* DC DG
Caterpillar crawling up the big phone pole
Is there somebody that you want to talk to
D CG You know that pretty soon, you'll be able to fly
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
Said you want to be, want to be, want to be, want to be...
DG D G DG D
Put down glossy pictures and drugs I've never seen
We'll treat you with advice from a fashion magazine
D CG And one day she just walked into that magazine
I wonder if she'll ever come back
They all said she would crack
A* They said her mind was one-track
DC They said she took it too far
Said you want to be, want to be, want to be, want to be...
DG D G DG D (... solo ...)
Every time you move your lips
Well, let me give you a few tips
D CG Yesterday you were too young
Tomorrow you will be too old
To regret all the things you've done
Who you trying to hustle
A* Somebody want to show your muscle
DC G Second hand excuses never went too far
What's this scene you're making
A* Your ideas have been taken
DC We'll seek when you awaken
Alone in someone's car
You just stood there shaking
A* You stood there shaking
DC They said you were faking
Said you want to be, want to be, want to be, want to be
DG D G
DG D Bm Closer to the stars.
