Oh, later on
          G       Am             C
They said I could be just what I want
          Dm           C Dm  C Dm
They said you're lying
              G             F
That you were born to be an astronaut
    C                 Dm
So ?: that's all I'm trying

Boys will be boys, you should listen ?:

That I could be just what I want

They said you're lying

That you were born to be an astronaut
