  [spoken:]
  I want to learn how to fly
  I want to be respected
  I want to get lucky
  I want to get out of this dump
  I just want to watch TV
  I want to be loved
  I want to be different
  I want a brother and sister   
  I'd just rather be forgotten
  I want to save the world
  I want to be understood
  I want to be rich
  Man, I just want to be somebody

  Julie's got the word today
      C        C        Am       G
  She lost her job just one last pay
C      C          F     F      C   C   Am    G (guitar lick 1.1)
  Life don't come easy anymore

  Still strugglin'on by herself
        C          C           Am           G
  Got a picture of Jimmy there on the shelf
C            C             F
  And she looks at him and says
      F                C  (guitar lick 1.2)
  Why did we let it go

  We didn't see things eye-to-eye
     A5              E5
  But I got just one question
         F5              G5
  Did we have to say goodbye

  Jimmy still recalls the night

          C           C       Am        (guitar lick 2.1)
  When he took his guitar and headed on out

C     C       F          F              C  C   (guitar lick 2.2)
  To find the big time ??? that was his dream
          C       C       F          F
  He gave up his past and made it alright
              C          C             Am      G (guitar lick 2.3)
  But there's something missin' in his heart tonight
C      C             F
  Sometimes what you want 
  F              C (guitar lick 2.4)
  Ain't what you need

        There will come a time, no matter who you are
                 F  (only the piano) G
        When you ask yourself was it right or wrong
            A5    G5    F
        For me to turn away
                   C             G
        We're just children of tomorrow
                F    G          C
        Hangin' on     to yesterday



End!
