E5       F#5            G#5                F#5
4 in the morning and my roommate's still a-snoring
     E5              F#5         G#5     F#5
So I take a walk out on the Boulevard
E5        F#5              G#5               F#5
The wind above me seems to push and pull and shove me
       E5               F#5            G#5      F#5
But it shows me all the places I could fly
E5        F#5         G#5          A5
I want to be something    before I die
E5      A5         G#5A5    B5
                   /      
I feel it burning me inside
C#m       E5          G#5              A5
I want to be something,   I don't know why
G#5A5  B5                 E
/                       
I want to know that at least I tried
E5       F#5              G#5               F#5
I see so clearly that the odds are stacked against me
         E5            F#5             G#5      F#5
And that nobody else believes in me at all
E5       F#5             G#5             F#5
I'm all alone here and I have to face my own fear
       E5               F#5             G#5     F#5
I have no choice but to keep on keeping on
E5        F#5         G#5          A5
I want to be something    before I die
E5      A5         G#5A5    B5

I want to know that at least I tried
D         A               E5
And if my dreams all come true someday, true someday
D          A         E5            B5
I won't forget how I feel today, I feel today       I'm blown away
E                                       D                    A
I wanna be some'n'  I wanna be some'n'    I wanna be some'n'   I wanna be some'n'
E                                       D                     A
