C5
Welcome to the big time

You're bound to be a star
Bb5                          C5
Even if you don't go all the way
F5
I know that you'll go far
C5
This race is for rats

It can turn you upside down
Bb5
Ain't no one you can count on
F5
In this sleazy little town
G5
Oh no
A5                       G5
Lots of promises in the dark
A5
Don't you open your heart

Refr?o:
 C5
'Cause it don't mean nothing
                    Bb5
The words that they say
                   F5
No, it don't mean nothing
                         C5
These games that people play

No, it don't mean nothing

               Bb5
No victim no crime
                   F5
No, it don't mean nothing
                                C5
Till you sign it on the dotted line

Whoa yeah

The director smiles
                    Bb5
As you walk in the door
                        F5
He says I love your work babe
                                   C5
But you're just not what we're looking for

It's never what

But who it is you know
Bb5
So easy to get stuck,
             F5         G5
In all that California snow
A5                                  G5
Take a good look around and you'll find
A5
People trying to mess with your mind

Refr?o:
A5
Hollywood can be so lonely
F5
Make you the winner of a losing fight
A5
Party is never over

The stars are always shining
F5                             C5
Doesn't matter if its day or night

C5
The producer says
                         Bb5
Let me change a line or two

And a little bit of something
F5
Can look awfully good to you
                 C5
And you wanna scream

But you gotta keep it all inside
 Bb5
When you're trying to make a living

F5
There ain't no such thing as pride

G5
Oh no
A5                       G5
Lots of promises in the dark
F5
Don't you open your heart
