[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

Jimmy still recalls the night
G
C C Am (guitar lick 2.1)
When he took his guitar and headed on out
Am G
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
