[Verse 1]
G#m           E                  
Billy's been driving all night, 
            B
he's got a dream
           B/A#
Wants to live up on the big screen
G#m         E                    
Just like Jimmy Dean, he's got 
      B              B/A#
his jacket on, and his hair combed 
just right
G#m          E                    
There's a hundred just like him in
B          B/A#

I wish the walls would come down

[Verse 2]

Rosemary's driving downtown, 
something that she heard from some 
talent scout

She's been working all day just to 
pay for those pictures to be done up
 in the right way

And it was such a shame when he said
 that she was just another pretty 
face

Said no one ever gets no where 
without shaking it here or there

Honey, life ain't fair


[Chorus]
B
I wish the walls would come down
             E                    
I wish the walls would come down
B/A#

            B               G#m   
I wish the walls would come down 
          E          B/A#

[Bridge]
G#m                               
Well, you can fix your face, you 
   B
can fix your hair
        E                      
You can fix you body, with this 
B/A#
needle here
G#m                             B
They want to walk around like a pack
 of wolves
E                            B/A#
And they tell you you ain't good 
enough

And it ain't your fault, they say it
 ain't your time

You just weren't cut out for the big
 time

And don't you try to be yourself

'Cause things like that, they never 
sell


[Chorus/Outro]
G#m                             E
I wish the walls would come down
   B  B/A#
