Verse 1:
 G5                                    C5      D5
She stepped off the bus out into the city streets
      G5
Just a small town girl with her whole life
            C5            D5
Packed in a suitcase by her feet
    G5
But somehow the lights didn?t
                    C5
Shine as bright as they did
       D5            G5
On her mamas tv screen
     G5
And the work seemed harder
                  C5
And the days seemed longer
        D5                  E5
Than she ever thought they?d be

Bridge:
E5
But you know you got to stick to your guns
       D5
When it all comes down
      C5
Cause sometimes you can?t choose
         D5
It?s like heads they win
                 G5
Tails you?re gonna lose

Chorus:
G5
Win big, mamas fallen angel
C5          D5
Lose big, livin out her lies
G5
Wants it all, mamas fallen angel
C5            D5                        G5
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

E5
Too much too soon
         D5
Or just a little too late
      C5
Cause when her ship came in
      D5                               G5
She wasn?t there and it just wouldn?t wait

Solo, chorus out
