D E G I know that I'll never go back home D to the life I had E G the life I had known D They put me on the cover of their magazines Bm Scarlett skies and broken dreams Em A They promised me that we would change the world For better or for worse D All I wanted was to rock and roll Bm All I wanted was to see the world Em The happenings on the streets, A And mingle with the crooks and thieves Chrous D Bm Em Is this not the life that you wanted A you wanted to have D Bm Em Is this not how you imagined it would be A when you would start to live in Hollywood D Bm Em A D They told me to dress so to scare Bm Look so tough like you just dont care Em A We'll package you and put you on display D And everyone gets a car Bm and we'll cruise down Mulholland Drive Em And we'll all feel so alive and well, this is swell, A this is what I waited for D Bm Em Is this not the life that you wanted A you wanted to have D Bm Em is this not how you imagined it would be A when you would start to live in Hollywood D F#m What have we done D F# what have we become Bm D Nobody grows o-old in Hollywood D With your plastic smile and your VIPs A Your credit cards and your fancy heels Bm G You are the modern day Robin Hood with a twist D Who takes from the poor and gives to the rich A D Who takes from the poor and gives to the ri-ich F#m You're also dead inside D You're also dead inside F#m You're also dead inside D You're also dead inside F#m You're also dead inside D You're also dead inside F#m You're also dead inside D You're also dead inside F#m You're also dead inside D You're also dead inside F#m You're also dead inside D You're also dead inside
