Capo 1
This is where I [Em]broke my wrist [G], where I [D]thought I could [Am]fly

Because I wanted to be [Em]just like them [G] and save my [D]city from [Am]crime
I wanted to be [C]just like them, [D]just like them, just like [Em] them
Campbell's chicken [Em]noodle soup [G] when you [D]stay home from [Am]school
Remember watching [Em]MTV [G] when there was still [D]music for [Am]you
Just a kid on [Em]Cholla Street [G] from my city [D]built in the [Am]sand
My father said, "You'll [C]be a man, [D]be a man, be a man" [Em]

I guess Santa Claus is [G]just not real and [D]Batman can't [Am]fly
And nobody's in[Em]vincible [G] because I [D]know people die [Am]
I saw it on the [Em]news one day [G] when the [D]towers fell down [Am]
September's not the [C]same place now, [D]same place now, same place [Am] now
Now tell me what you [Em]wanna be because you [D]grow up too [Am]fast
I'll cut my hair and [Em]sag my jeans [G] and never [D]show up to [Am]class
Get ready 'cause it's [Em]time to leave [G], so [D]pack up your [Am]bags
And go be who you [C]wanna be, [D]wanna be, wanna be [Em]
