B                       E
the sandy haired son of hollywood
B                  E
lost his faith in all that's good
B                      E
closed the curtain unplugged the clock,
B                        E
hung his clothes on the shower rod
       F#           G#m
but he never got undressed
          E             F#
and no he never made a mess

            E              F#
 it's funny how life turns out
              G#m                  F#
 the odds of faith in the face of doubt
        E          F#
 camera one closes in
                G#m                  F#
 the soundtrack starts, the scene begins

 take a bow,  take a bow...

B                   E
the trophy wife of palisades
B                     E
whose yearbook beauty never fades
B                    E
sits and watches the sea fold in
B                E
and wonders what might have been
             F#            G#m
if she could ever have her chance
          E         F#
would she do it all again

            E              F#
 it's funny how life turns out
              G#m                 F#

       B            F#
on the corner by a street
                E               F#
he sits in his lawnchair in the heat
          B             F#
siteseers see what they want
               E              F#  (stop)   B   E
 he's selling starmaps to the sun
