Verse 1:
 G                                    C      D
She stepped off the bus out into the city streets
      G
Just a small town girl with her whole life
            C            D
Packed in a suitcase by her feet
    G
But somehow the lights didn?t
                    C
Shine as bright as they did
       D            G
On her mamas tv screen
     G
And the work seemed harder
                  C
And the days seemed longer
        D                  Em
Than she ever thought they?d be

Bridge:
Em
But you know you got to stick to your guns
       D
When it all comes down
      C
Cause sometimes you can?t choose
         D
It?s like heads they win
                 G
Tails you?re gonna lose

Chorus:
G
Win big, mamas fallen angel
C          D
Lose big, livin out her lies
G
Wants it all, mamas fallen angel
C            D                        G
Lose it all, rollin the dice of her life

Verse 2:
Now she found herself in the fast lane livin day
to day
Turned her back on her best friends, yeah
And let her family slip away

Just like a lost soul
Caught up in the Hollywood scene
All the parties and the limousines

Such a good actress hiding all her pain
Trading her memories for fortune and fame

Bridge:
Just a step away from the edge of a fall
Caught between heaven and hell
Where?s the girl I knew a year ago

Chorus

Em
Too much too soon
         D
Or just a little too late
      C
Cause when her ship came in
      D                               G
She wasn?t there and it just wouldn?t wait

Solo, chorus out
