[Verse]
Em G
This is where I broke my wrist
D Am7
Where I thought I could fly
Em G
Thinking I was Superman
D Am7
So you know you can't cry
Em G
Cause I wanted to be just like them
D Am7
And save my city from crime
C D Em
I wanted to be just like them just like them just like them
Em G
Campbell's chicken noodle soup
D Am7
When you stay home from school
Em G
Remember watching MTV
D Am7
When there was still music for you
Em G
Just a kid on Cholla Street
D Am7
From my city built in the sand
C D Em
My father said you'll be a man be a man be a man
[Chorus]

[Verse]
Em G
I guess Santa Claus is just not real
D Am7
And Batman can't fly
Em G
And nobody’s invincible
D Am7
Because I know people die
Em G
I saw it on the news one day
D Am7
When the towers fell down
C D Em
September's not the same place now same place now same place now
Em G
Now tell me who you wanna be
D Am7
Because you grow up too fast
Em G
Cut my hair and sag my jeans
D Am7
And never show up to class
Em G
Get ready cause it's time to leave
D Am7
So pack up your bags
C D Em
And go be who you wanna be wanna be wanna be
[Chorus]
