A                G
And when I'm broke and really down 
Bm                   A
Everybody's throwing tons around 
                          G 
And when I finally get my pay 
Bm                             A
Everyone's in India or so they say 

Chorus:
        D           G           C           A
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be 
          D            A 
I want to be like everybody else 
                       D
I want to be like everybody else 
D             G
Gravity don't work on me 
          A            D
I want to be like everybody else 

Drink your milk, then your coke, then your rye 
First you're born, then you live, then you die 
First you cry, then you sing, then you moan 
First you're wet, then you're dry,  then you're bone 

It's such a 1, 2, 3 affair 
Where did I go wrong, I'm stuck out here 
I'm stuck, it's up to you 
Hold me so tight they think I'm you
