R.E.M. - She Just Wants To Be
Am F
Am F
It's not that she walked away,
Am F Am
her world grew smaller.
F Am F Am
All the usual places, the same destinations,
F Am F C Em
only something's changed.
Am F Am
It's not that she wasn't rewarded
F Am
with pomegranate afternoons
F C Em
and Mingus, Chet Baker and chess.
Am F Am
It's not the stampede and fortune
F Am
of prim affectations
F C Em Am
she's off on a right and she knows now
F Am F
it's greater than the whole
Am
of the past
F
it's greater
C Em
and now she knows.
F G

Chorus:
Am C Em G Am
She just wants to be somewhere
C G
She just wants to be.
Am C Em G Am
She just wants to be somewhere
C G
She just wants to be.
Repeat chords for remaining verses
It's not that the transparency
of earlier incarnations
now we're back on, we're enriched
and loaded
with beautiful vulnerability
and now she knows.
Now is greater
and she knows that.
She just wants to be somewhere
she just wants to be.
She just wants to be somewhere
she just wants to be.
Now is greater
now is greater
and she knows that
She just wants to be somewhere
she just wants to be.
She just wants to be somewhere
she just wants to be.
It's not like the angels
could truly look down
stir up the trappings
and light on the ground.
Remind us of what, when,
why or who?
The how's up to us, me and you
and now is greater than the whole
of the past
is greater and now she knows that.
Now she knows
