B
I need a name, a place in the game
A way to sustain my stake in the frame
      A       E           B
Then Hollywood, you come callin'

Oh, fickle fate, will it happen too late?
With the morning sun will I be done,
or in Hollywood? And she starts bawlin'

Chorus:
                       A                   E
I'm talkin' 'bout the weatherman with his golden tan
       B                               A
Has a master plan, he's talkin' 'bout Hollywood
E           B
Hollywood promises

Now, I live in the hills on whiskey and pills
And inside my head, I vanquish the dead
And Hollywood, she's rewardin'

Well I'm riding the wave
Yes, and rock n' roll saves
And right to the top and down I'll drop
And Hollywood, you com crawlin'

Chorus:
Talkin' 'bout the actor man who needs a chance
But he's cleaning vans
I'm talkin' 'bout hooker bars and the crazy cars
Searching' for the stars
I'm talkin' 'bout Hollywood
Hollywood promises

 D                    A
Hollywood promises is it a dream?
Hollywood promises, another crazy
Hollywood promises is it a dream?
Hollywood promises, another crazy

  E           D
Star, star, star
You're a star, star, star
You're a star, star, star
           E
You're a star!

Am I inside a trap?
Just a star on the map?
Am I failin' in my dreams?
Torn apart at the seams
In Hollywood, and she's callin'

Chorus:
Talkin' 'bout the screaming' fans holdin' out their hands
It's all empty man
I'm talkin' 'bout the city fools and the swimming pools
Get the crazy blues
I'm talkin' 'bout the studio head telling me I'm dead
Get out of Babylon, yeah
Talkin' 'bout Hollywood
Hollywood promises
