That's it!
And here's where the lyrics go with the song:
Intro:
G D/F# Bm Em
G D/F# Bm Em
Verse:
G
Caged
D/F# Bm Em
You hold so tight until your knuckles show
G
Escape
D/F# Bm Em
As far away as you could ever know
C
You sink them all down
Em
And watch them float up
Bm Em
Until the wheel has spun around
Am
You will be bound by what you are
Pre-Chorus:
You stand in the corner
With your face stripped of colour
For what?
Chorus:
Bm G A
If you want to be a passenger
Bm G A
Climb aboard with me we're leaving now
Bm G A
Step outside and see another world
Bm C#m D A D
Only if you want to be a passenger
Verse:
G
Chained
D/F# Bm Em
So many places you'd prefer to be
G
Than framed
D/F# Bm Em
By a picket fence and salary
C
You sink them all down
Em
Then watch them float up
Bm Em
Until the wheel has spun around
Am
You will be bound by who you are
Pre-Chorus:
You're tied to the corner
With your hope twisted under
In knots
Chorus:
Bm G A
If you want to be a passenger
Bm G A
Climb aboard with me we're leaving now
Bm G A
Step outside and see another world
Bm C#m D A D F#
Only if you want to be a passenger Ohhhh
Outro:
Bm C#m D A
lalalalalalala lalalalalalala
Bm C#m D A
lalalalalalala lalalalalalala
Bm C#m D A
lalalalalalala lalalalalalala
Bm C#m D A
If you want to be lalalalalalala lalalalalalala

Bars are indicated by a "|" symbol. I've tried to put the words in the
right spot.
The G5, A and D chords in the choruses actually change half a beat
before the bar but it's a bit hard to tab.
You can play the D* as a normal D (xx0232) but I think the other
way sounds more like the way they play it.
Anyway, here it is:
