the sandy haired son of hollywood

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

and no he never made a mess
E F#

G#m F#
the odds of faith in the face of doubt
E F#
camera one closes in
G#m F#

B F#
you're playing you now
E
you're playing you now
B F# E
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

and wonders what might have been
F# G#m
if she could ever have her chance
E F#
would she do it all again

siteseers see what they want
