Intro: Bm G
Bm
Hollywood is such a dream,
G
And when you're only seventeen, it's wonderful,
Bm
A movie man said she could be a star,
G
A beauty queen, or a cover girl,
A F# Bm
She believes and packs up her things,
G A Bm
And the wall of silence begins,
Bm
Every night was party night,
G
She was everyone's delight, he let her stay,
Bm
And when he'd had enough, he threw her out,
G
And she found work in a small cafe,
A F# Bm
When she called they put her on hold,
G A Bm
And the wall of silence grows,
G A

F#m
Give me a break,
F#m
Give me a break,
G
This is Hollywood,
F#m
Open the door,
F#m Bm A
Open the door,
E G A
What am I going to do,
Bm A
And when the money runs out,
E
And there isn't any doubt,
G A D G Dsus4 G A Bm
That I'll have nowhere to go,
Bm
Hollywood is just a dream,
G Bm G
But when you're only seventeen, it's magical,
Bm
She went home to hide away,
G
She wore her sadness like a veil, and closed the door,
A F# Bm
Till the day she smiles and recalls,
G A Bm G Bm A E G A Bm
And the wall of silence falls...
