(C)Grow in’ up
(C)you don’t see the (F)writ ing on the (C)wall.

You know in (Am)some ways you’re a (F)lot like me.
You’re just a (Am)pris on er, and you’re (F)tryin’ to break free.

Take me where the fu ture’s ly ing; (D)St.

You broke the (Am)boy in me, but you (F)won’t break the man.

Take me where the fu ture’s ly ing; (D)St.

Just once in my life

And my time is now;
I’m com in’ a (G)live.
I can hear the mu sic play in’; I can see the (E)ban ners fly.
Feel be like a vet a gain.

Gon na be your man in mo tion.
All I need is a (E)pair of wheels.
Take me where the fu ture’s ly ing; (D)St.
El mo’s (Esus)fire.
I can see a new ho ri zon un der neath the (E)blaz ing sky.
I’ll be where the ea gle’s fly ing (D)high er and (Esus)high (E)er.
Gon na be your man in mo tion.
All I need is a (E)pair of wheels.
Take me where the fu ture’s ly ing; (D)St.
El mo’s (Esus)fire.
(D)St.
El mo’s (Esus)fire.
